Andrew, I love how you call your mom, Mommy.... I'm 72 and still call my mother that. About the bears eating the corn... better the corn than you. One of my friends in Jersey came back to one in her porch eating out of her porch fridge.

Women have always made a big difference in farming. Everybody has a role. Sometimes roles change. The key to success is to be able to realize when and how to adapt. The ladies at this farm do that very well, and the guys appreciate it.

When I was 30 in 1979 my Papaw ( born 1891 ) was in the Hospital on his deathbed and when my Mom asked him if she could get him anything he said " cantelope " from his garden and his favorite picture of my Grandmother from his nightstand. I always thought that was cool and of course I think of both of them whenever I see or smell a cantaloupe.

I am always amazed with your harvesting, and it’s just so satisfying to watch! Love it with those jalapeños are so ready to harvest that they release when they are lifted up. Your corn harvesting brings back memories for me. If it was too wet to push a wheel barrow down between the rows, we went barefooted and used a big galvanized washtub to put the corn in. You had to get the corn harvested, especially when you had customers waiting for it! : ) Mature cantaloupes falling off the vine when they are ready… that makes for easy harvesting! : ) It is hard to see so much produce being tossed to the ground with rot issues. In the long run though, like you said, its not going to waste, its going back into the soil to feed future plants. Did you get the same storm that the Broyan’s farm got. I watched their video before yours came up. They got 2” of rain in about 30 minutes and had some storm damage and fields flooded. A tree had even been blown down in their trailer at the farm market.

Bears do too much damage. Any way to keep them out of your corn before they destroy more? Cutting for silage right after picking moves the bears into unpicked corn, although the cattle enjoy the silage with whatever half eaten ears come up into the silage. Love those picking sounds! From the comments, I'm not the only one! Some zucchini for the chickens? Here in Oregon, it's 101 degrees all week, so your rain looks pretty GOOD to me. Enjoy it for us Oregonians who need it badly? Those watermelons look great. Wish I had one. Those in supermarkets here are awful. My chickens will eat the rind right down to the outer skin. Yours would probably like some, too.
