Hot Sauce Batch 19 – entry 2

Photo of the Day: Water Hyacinth in Bloom

He's probably got an XBox in that nest.
High summer corn pr0n
It's mid-summer and the second round of sweet corn is coming in nicely. This variety is Incredible, an F1 Hybrid SE variety. At 84 days it's a little longer to maturity than the Honey Select we harvested back at the beginning of the month, but it's well-worth the wait.
Grow your own all natural luffa sponges
Forget those $6 all natural luffa sponges from the store. It's super easy to grow a whole bathtub's worth for less than $2 (they're even edible!). Here's how:
