Rave sweet corn!

Post by IMADreamer »

We always plant about a half acre of sweet corn at the farm for ourselves, family, friends, etc and it's ready!!! So I went and picked some, brought it home shucked, it cleaned it, cooked it, and ate it. The house smells like it right now, it's so good and tasted even better.

There is NOTHING like fresh vegetables out of the garden.

Yeah, I've had some of the best corn lately. Not grown myself, but from a local farm that sells on the side of the road. Awesome.

Reminds me that it's time to go check on my deer stands. The farm I hunt has a few thousand acres of corn plots and I get to take all I want when I visit. Fresh sweet corn on the cob is the best.

Sweet corn season in full effect again. Ribs and sweet corn have to be the best food combo ever. Either alone is awesome. Together it's like an orgy in my mouth.

We're on our third picking here, planted a fourth but its got tiny ears so will probably get fed to the cows instead.

While I'm here.... Rant: people giving away free produce. We're trying to pay down some bad debt and decided to plant a huge garden and sell produce this year. It's been a ton of time and work but we've been making some money. Our local seed rep planted about a half acre plot of sweet corn that is ready now that he's giving away. Makes it hard to sell when people are giving it away. There are still some that will buy if you pick and shuck it. My wife had been selling quite a few tomatoes at work now another lady is bringing in her extra and giving them away. We're still selling some but I guess my wife is getting some pretty snarky responses and people think we should just be giving them away also.
