Can I just say, you have some fine looking stalks.
haha thanks!
They look like they belong there. Your garden flows right into them!
Thanks! A little shorter than previous years, but I will adjust come the big night.
Fantastic, and yes, only a week from lights!
Gonna try something a little different this year with the pre-Halloween lights... I shall take photos!
I tried growing corn for stalks this year. Bought seed corn from a tall variety. The ones in the ground are about one foot tall. The ones I grew in pots were about 5 feet but then the squirrels came and ripped them all out of the pots. I have about 3 stalks from 80 plants. I wanted enough to make an obelisk and uplight it with a fire and ice light. So now I will have to make one out of the 3 stalks and my branch and stick collection instead.
Ugh. That's rough. I have learned (the hard way) that I have to remove all ears of corn before displaying. The squirrels around here were impressive. As were raccoons one year. They shredded everything trying to get to the corn. One night I heard a noise and looked out and saw a raccoon dragging a bunch of stalks down the block. I screamed at it to stop like a lunatic. It paused, looked up at the window where i was...then kept on moving.
I wonder if you could hide some mothballs in them. Might ward off the local wildlife. I keep one of those galvanized buckets (like the ones you use for bobbing for apples) full of water for the 2 neighborhood cats and several crows and hawks (and raccoons and opossums) to use. Imagine my surprise when I looked out at 7:00 am or so Saturday morning and saw a bear with both front feet in it. He didn't mess with the corn or tomatoes but delighted over the fallen avocados and actually took a nap under the tree. I posted some really bad fuzzy pics on instagram.
My favorite winery (haha) is looking xtra beautiful & all ready for Fall<333
Haha thanks!!
Looks excellent! Can't wait my friend.
