Importing of corn stalks is in full swing.
And, we needed some means of storing all this corn I’m bringing in before I go about setting up how I want.
First in line to be filled as storage was our whiskey barrel. In a little bit of a coming out ceremony, we moved it out behind the countdown to help drive home our new theme.

The rest…is in one heck of a bundle right now. 2ft deep, 6 ft wide, I figured to strap it to the fence to keep it all up and sturdy, and provide me a little means of decoration/advertisement.

And, I have about half that left to go pick up.
I may just make it through the whole corn setup without having to fall back on plan B. But, there IS a plan B just in cast this proves not quite enough. It sure is looking like a lot, can’t wait to start setting it up for real…
With corn in hand, it’s time to start thinking on the Pumpkins.
So far, leading candidate is a farmer in Harrisville, pay by weight. Average price for the size I want is $2.
Wal-Mart would be slightly cheaper for bigger pumpkins. Sacco’s is out of the question.
Have to check Day Farms still…
The stand we found last year does not have pumpkins yet, however, and if they are anywhere close to the 18 pumpkins for under $12 we got last year, I’m sure it’s gonna be the winner.
