Cane Update

August 12:

The Sorghum Cane has leaped overhead as if to touch the Sky. The Cane surely must love this August Heat. That 1 inch Rain we got earlier must have suited its Fancy too.

Assuming all goes well, we will be making Sorghum Molasses in a month. My, how the summer has flown.

At this time, Cane Seed Heads are bursting alive. Hollis calls that moment: "Shooting Cane". Apparently, the Seed Head is tightly held in the Leaves. At the moment the Seed Head is unfurled, a "shooting" sound is heard. This is especially evident during a Rain. We shall surely have to check that out. Once again, we 3 C's do not want to miss a thing,
