Oh beautiful, long live the corn!! We had corn the other night for dinner, first of alot to come. I will get some pictures of my corn patch too, it is not as big as your, but will provide a little for the freezer. I like the look of the two headed corn cob, cool, love mutations that come from the garden, always makes me smile. Got some cool pictures of weird carrots too, maybe I'll bring those to a thread as well. So nice Rosewood, that you had bounty enough to got to freezerville to grace the winter table for your very large family. Nothin' like homegrown. I think its going to be a long winter, so I am readying too....
I had corn left over from a few years ago, it was a very nice supersweet (sh2) variety, a hybrid, but I like corn so much that I like to use hybrids, tried and beautifully true, big cobs with great ear tip cover. It was one year too old, last year it germinated, this year it did not. A bicolour. So planted again. Too late to order seed, so I purchased a supersweet (sh2) called Canadian Early Supersweet Hybrid F1 from the Buckerfields. Freakin' weird corn. Very good, as company will attest to, but never got a chance to show the freakin' weird corn. I found the cobs rather on the thin side, long cobs, but not the big round fat cobs that come from the variety I usually plant, but the kernels were nice, and very crisp and tastey (I place corn in boiling water for only 3 minutes and then remove, keeps the corn fresher tasting). I'll get a picture next time I am shucking freakin' weird corn, probably today. Also, these stalks many of them have 3 mature cobs on the stalk. Get that 3!! Never actually heard of 3, especially coming to maturation. Sometimes two per stalk, but find only one matures the other stays baby. Odd. Out of 10 cobs the other day 4 displayed this oddity of a small cob gowing on the same ear as a large cob. The small cob encased in a perfect set of leaves and then the two cobs both encased in the leaves (gads, can't think of the name of the leaves that cover the cobs, my mind must be slippy this morning). So when I picked the corn cobs, feeling to see if the tip felt full, (along with the browned silks, that is how I feel for perfect doneness) the cob felt not round, but kind of elongated, but still kin of roundy. So weird. Ya, I'll get a picture, pictures tell a thousand words, so they say.
Our corn is very late this year, but that is because we were so set back with the cold and wet June and the seeds that never germinated. At least 3 weeks behind when I would usually plant, if not a bit longer, sigh. Oh well, long live the corn. I wish that others had the climate to grow this super food crop too
have a most beautiful day, CynthiaM.
mind when you walk up to the green house all you see is the high corn throw the plastic and I so can't wait to eat some.
