I discovered today that corn does not need the full kernel to sprout. I had some corn cobs that I stripped the kernels from and threw into the compost bin, and today there were shoots coming up from it everywhere. I am a bit intrigued and have planted it in the garden to see what happens. Mr Woof will be very happy if it continues to grow as he has taken quite the liking to my corn plants, they are apparently very tasty.

My old dog loved to eat corn on the cob, not the actual plant though!

My dog really likes grass, and will want to stop and graze every time we go past a juicy overgrown patch while walking. I don't have any lawn, so this is the only grass he can get at home.

I have a pot of cat grass under the back tap that the furry ones enjoy.
