Hello Derek!
I am so glad you are coming out to Wheaton Labs!
What are you interested in harvesting? What kinds of preservation and processing are you wanting to do?
On September 29th we start Rocket Prep Week.
I am excited for that one. We will be learning all about rocket mass heaters and Cob just in time for winter!

Nope. But, it's an old one, already leaking, and I'm undecided, at this point, whether I'll keep the car. It needs more work done to it (just to get it drivable, not including the ragtop) than it's actually worth, and I could easily buy another used vehicle in good running condition, for less, so... there it sits.

Same here. Since I started growing this corn I became interested in the colors.
Have you gotten any decent harvests that far north? How long is the growing season?
