The interesting thing will be to see if he harvests it.

Subject: [Leica] IMG: Corn

Each week, I put out a few ears of corn for the backyard squirrels. 
Invariably, after munching for a while, one of the squirrels will start 
burying kernels around the yard.  Most sprouts get mowed down.

I discovered this stalk growing in a corner by the garage where I don't try 
to mow. and let it grow to see what developed. Although the stalk is weak, 
it now has a developing ear near the base.

I thought that the squirrels that buried the kernels were just dumb, but 
maybe this guy was looking out for the Winter.
