Silk and Tassels

The corn is looking really good.  The shortest corn stalks measures around five and a half feet tall.  The tallest stalks measure about 8 feet tall.  The tassels are pushing up and many have begun swaying in the wind.  The silk has grown out and will soon kernel up into delicious corn.  I have only seen a handful of ears on the east row of stalks.  I have not walked down the western three rows in a few weeks but I am hoping to find lots of ears growing during my stole down Corn Street this weekend.  
Victory Garden Alert! Victory Garden Alert!  Authorities were called to the victory garden at 9:58 am after receiving an emergency call from the local squirrel community.  A squirrel reported hearing a noise moving through the corn followed by a crunching sound.  Authorities found a bean top connected to a broken bean vine at the corner of Corn Street and Zucchini Court.  CSI recovered two strands of hair from the crime scene.  The strands were sent to the lab for analysis.  In addition, CSI reports finding three teeth marks on the lonely bean found at the last crime scene.  The teeth were said to be small and sharp.  Based on the size of the marks CSI estimates the bean robber to be 8-12 inches in height.
