Mandan Corn is sprouting!
Everyday I see changes in my garden! It's so exciting! I have certainly been "bitten" by the gardening bug... LOL!
My Mandan Corn is sprouting!!!
And this weekend, we enjoyed little snipits of fresh lettuce, spinach, arugula on our sandwiches.

Planted Mandan Corn
Inspired by Steve, the midnight gardener, I worked out in the garden tonight till about 11pm. What a beautiful night!
So... after learning that it was a staple of the Mandan Indians... I planted a whole 4x4 bed with it!!! Look at those beautiful colors!
I mixed up enough Mel's Mix to fill 2 4x4 boxes... I'd say by moon light... but couldn't see the moon in the star filled sky... I dragged out one of our construction lights and worked and worked (loving it of course...)!
On a recent trip to the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, MT, I purchased some heirloom Mandan corn seed at the gift shop. Not knowing any about it... including whether it was just ornamental or edible... I decided to do some research... more info on this link.
I'll plant another 4x4 with sweet yellow corn... maybe tomorrow... I've got the box all filled with Mel's Mix!!
Still to get planted... CARROTS...
