not sure if it should be planted close to the SQ. did some research and you probaBly shouldn't plant it next to the SQ.I like the looks of that. Might have to plant some next year. How close can it be planted next to silver queen?
the SD will hold on the stalk a lot longer than the SQ. you can pick the SD and put it in the fridge for about a week and it will still be as good as the the day you picked it.This is some silver queen that I froze. It is starting to get to big now for my liking to eat off the cob, but it works ok for freezing. Silver queen does not keep on the stalk long enough for me. Maybe the silver duchess will last longer.
here's that patch a little over a month after planting.planting fall cole crops 7/12/16. about 1200 plants. cabbage,broccoli, brussel sprouts and cauliflower.

That corn looks good, If it will last even a week longer than SQ I will be happy! It also looks sweeter to me.

treflan (liquid preen) and devrinol. sprayed and then roto-tilled before planting..
yes i know it's February but the thermometer said it was April with 78*. the ground was dry enough to try some plowing. only hit one damp spot. getting ready for the first patches of sweet corn when the time comes.

Chipper hope you are feeling better.Sorry it's not a view from the tractor, but a view of the tractor .
Went and grabbed the trash can and figured I'd get a bucket of wood for the house. It's 42 and sunny out and I know I need to be doing something to help get over this crud. Maybe when I move it in a bit I'll get the view from the tractor; ).

looks good @BlackCoffin . red or black raspberries? what machine/transplanter do you use to plant them? welcome to AS BTW.Hilling before planting raspberries View attachment 561446 View attachment 561447
Red raspberries and they are all planted by hand! The tiller places drip tape and fertilizer inside the hill so all the irrigation crew has to do is hook up to the sub main lines at the end of the rows. We rotate and plant an average of 150 acres per year.looks good @BlackCoffin . red or black raspberries? what machine/transplanter do you use to plant them? welcome to AS BTW.
