His comment to me " I thought you were going to say that you wanted to keep them for toilet paper"...he cracks me up...

This reminds me of something I have known for ever,,,,
First use a RED. (cob from red corn)

Then follow with a YELLOW

If YELLOW turns BROWN,,,, then go with another RED

We harvested less than 1/2 of the first set of corn this afternoon! We blanched it, cut it off the cob & stuck it in the freezer. We will finish it up tomorrow. We picked 52 ears, 60 cups cut off the cob for a total of 16 meals for our family. Hopefully we will get close to the same amount tomorrow! Then, maybe by next weekend we will be able to pick & freeze the secondary ears!

I told my husband that I wanted to put the cobs into the freezer so that I can pull them out as a treat for the chickens. His comment to me " I thought you were going to say that you wanted to keep them for toilet paper"...he cracks me up...

This is the tallest our corn has ever grown!

I portion them into ziplocs, then place them into food saver bags. Each has two meals worth, I can reseal the bags after I take the first portion out.

TRUMP wanted to say HI! And the itty bitty Brady Bunch has moved out to the big coop in the “see no touch” section.... I know it’s early but I’m starting to wonder if Marcia is a boy

Good morning ladies! Thank you. It was a very good year for corn. This is probably the best we've ever grown...no worms...I don't know why not, but I'm happy with it!
