Knee-high by the 4th of July???

The old adage states that corn should be "knee-high by the fourth of July," but I think it's something more like... we are knee high to the corn by the 4th of July...


...and yes, that is our sweet corn in the garden. Obviously. It has been a long time since I've seen sweet corn this tall. It's usually sort of puny, but not this year. It is tall, with dark green stalks, and


double ears on many of the stalks.

Our peas didn't do to well this year. We might try to plant some more yet, but otherwise, the garden seems to be doing pretty well. Here are some other views of it:


The shorter corn on the left hand side of this photo above is popcorn.



Popcorn, watermelons, cabbage, purple beans, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, yellow sweet corn. We tried to plant pumpkins in between the cabbage and the watermelons, but for some reason they never germinated this spring.
