Every year I try to get a garden going, which usually ends up with it flying out of control by the end of summer. This year was no exception, but I'm happy to say that I managed to only donate a quart of blood to the mosquitoes and harvested some popcorn! The dark red one is called Fireside. It's a bit of an oddball in that some ears will be that incredibly dark red color, some will be a bright yellow, and some will be a blend of the two which looks even better. The other popcorn isn't actually ready yet, but a stalk broke so I ripped open the ear to see how my Glass Gem was doing. It's really neat! There's green, purple, pink, yellow, blue and shades in between. It's more of a pastel color since it's not properly ripe and dried, but it's really making me look forward to when the rest of it is ready to pick!
