We host California City Tuesday. I'm glad they have the journey not us. California City is about 140 miles south and east from here. Over the mountains and into the desert near Edwards Air Force base. They and a few other schools are now in our section. I should be gone before we have to make that trip for a game. It should be a exciting playoff run. We have the pitching, but have to wait and see if the hitting and catching keep pace enough to win.
Yesterday, Mother's Day, was spent in the garden. Traditionally on Mother's Day I took the children and Maureen got the day to herself to work in the garden. Yesterday I helped her prepare and plant the corn beds and lay down some more mulch in the walkways.
Let it be known that I am not trying to take credit for the walkway mulching. Maureen came up with the idea to use the waste mulch when our tree was cut down. I'm the brute force, though she has done more of this than I. It should keep the weeds down.
The corn is our idea. Corn is so cheap to buy, it doesn't make sense to grow it. But I wanted to try and if it fails the chickens get some food. Another experiment. And another wonderful day with Maureen in the garden. I'm always reminded of the blessing it is to work with her. We don't always agree on the path, but eventually get to the same place together.
19 more days.

Corn is the only thing we can't grow. It looks amazing and produces tiny little ears. We are using the corn space for more tomato and pepper plants.
Congrats on your coaching to the playoffs!
The garden looks wonderful. I don't grow corn in the garden. My son grows it for me...he uses it as a divider between his commercial tomato fields...lucky me!
