Mutants and Aliens


I just could not wait any longer so I picked some ears of corn. They felt pretty full and solid, and the silk was dry. Well, there is some strange stuff going on in the corn patch! Over the top of one ear was a second layer of loose disorganized kernels. Another ear had a small new ear starting at the base. What in the world would cause this? I have never seen this happen and I have had more than a few patches of corn over the years. Anyone have any ideas? There were some normal ears too but it still could use more time. Will this corn ever be ready to eat. Also found a few ripe tomatoes but really had to search for them. This is trying my patience!
