Squash Blossoms

My boss turned me loose early today (bless her), and I've spent the afternoon running the tiller in the garden, working on my farmer tan. 

The oldest of the squash plants - the batch that came up from the first planting - have squash on them!  I bet we'll be eating them by next weekend.

The corn is a good foot tall.    As I was tilling  past it, I wondered if my idea about interplanting it with pole beans is a good idea.  It is almost a sure bet that the raccoons will eventually push the cornstalks over; when that happens, the beans will go down with the corn, and that will be one confounded mess.  

I've been trying to think of ways to foil the raccoons.  What I need is about three mean Dobermans.  ;)
