downright bushy seedlings!

even downright bushier seedlings!

 

 

 

perhaps six weeks after planting

about seven weeks after planting

two months after planting, from afar (the view, that is, not the planting)

 

 

 

seven weeks after planting

Here come those ears!

the ears, or i-ne, are appearing

 

 

 

Note how they are turning brown-ish

Ears a-plenty!

Ears aplenty from afar

 

 

 

Getting top heavy now!

even more top heavy...

Look at 'em lean!

 

 

 

Approaching maturity now!

Any day now!

Simply gorgeous!

 

 

 

Gorgeaous even from afar

Yet even more gorgeous close-up

Heavily laden ears

 

 

 

Again, ain't they gorgeous? Up close and personal.

Even closer are more beautiful. Harvest is but days away.

Finally, harvesting has begun.
