The Corn Crop

Looks like a bumper corn crop this year

Rose of Sharon

Brookville seems to be an ideal location for this particular species. At least I have had great success in growing them from scratch. And the color of this bush or tree is the most unusual I have ever seen. The Rose of Sharon produces a white blossom with a deep red center that bleeds into the white. It is from a tree that I made by taking a small limb off the parent bush and sticking it into the ground. Then I kept pulling off leaves and sprouts until it formed a trunk. Now, it looks like a tree and is 8 to 10 feet tall. The parent bush was removed as it was becoming too large for the location it was in.

Paw Paw

Paw Paw tree. I hope it will bear some fruit next summer. I have three of them planted. If the wildlife likes the fruit then that will be good. I don't know if I can keep all three of them but it depends on how big they get.
