Mini Harvest, Birds, and a Cob

The other day we had a mini harvest. The carrots we planted are dwarf carrots, and the package said now was the time to pull them out.
Ezren has done this before and was pretty excited to do it again -- we didn't get to last year because the squirrels came and ate all of the carrots.
Perfect little bitesize sweet carrots!

We've also been harvesting blueberries as they ripen. 
At least once a day, we go out and pick the juicy blue ones.
If we wait too long, the birds will come along.
In fact, the birds have eaten half of them already!
We installed a scarecrow (though I'm not sure who it's scaring besides Zelda), tied up hanging shiny ribbons, and have a fake owl who hangs out guarding the blueberries.
And still, the birds come and laugh at us while eating our blueberries.

Our corn has been doing well this year!
Because our garden is so small (thank you giant trees blocking all the sun!), we don't have much room for corn.
But it's fun to grow, and wow, do I love homegrown corn on the cob!
So does Ezren -- fresh and raw of the stalk!
