Corn...when did I eat corn?

We planted a field full of corn today. Row by row, 2 seeds at a time. My neck got sunburned and I felt like a farmer's wife. The implement we used looked something like this image. You press the pointed end into the ground, then press the handles together, which opens up the end in the ground, making a hole. Then you drop the corn seeds down the length of the tool into the hole and you close the handles again and lift the tool out of the ground, Then, as you press the tool into the ground about a foot further down the row, you step on the previous hole to press the dirt down and cover the seeds well. So you do this about a hundred times in a row, for about 50 rows. It's hot and repetitive , but at least it's easy enough that you can visit and talk while you work. And when it's all done, it's actually pretty satisfying to look over the field full of neat little furrows that you planted and envision how it will look in a month or two. I am glad we only have to do it once a season, though.
