A few weeks ago, Matthew wrote about our garden and how “bad” it was coming along. I am sure he particularly mentioned our attempt at growing sweet corn here. I think he mentioned something about how short and scrawny it looked. Well, although our corn plants “were” somewhat scrawny looking, when we had some with dinner the other night, it actually tasted very delicious and the ears weren’t small and undersized like we figured they would be! We were better gardeners than we had thought. The ears were nice and yellow and weren’t even bug eaten! In the rest of our garden we are growing sweet potatoes, broccoli, tomatoes, regular potatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, cabbage, green beans, popcorn, and peanuts. Everything seems to be growing fairly well and we are expecting fresh vegetables in a few weeks. The strange thing is that we are growing all of these in late December, which is not normal for us since we have been living in the northern hemisphere before we came here.
