Weeding and Planting Corn

The potatoes are still coming in, but so are the weeds. So I got out there today and cultivated around the potatoes so they would not have to compete with the weeds.

I also re-worked the ground around the potatoes to prep it for the corn. I pulled the middle buster through a number of times which did a good job of removing the grass clods then ran the disc until the bed was as preped as I could get it. I was able to borrow a planter from my neighbor and put in 4 short rows of super sweet white and super sweet mixed corn on either side of the potatoes.

We are getting a nice gently rain tonight which we desperately need. Hopefully we will get enough to soak in the seeds.
