Sweet Corn

Remember that when they are grown you still have to figure out how to get some to me! i haven't had home grown corn in years and it always tastes so much better! xxx

Wait--- you planted them to move them? That does not make sense to me.... but I'm sure you know what you are doing- Do you lose some in the move? or do they all grow great?? I love gardens-- I love hearing about your garden and flowers--- that is why I'm so glad that we are friends!

I have never had the multi color sweet corn before just the yellow corn, And I love sweet corn.. I'd rather eat it off the cob than in a can any day.. I am not a corn eater other wise... It's fresh cobs or nothing.. I am hoping this year I will be able to get some...

So far, 5 of my corn seed came up. I don't know how many my daughter planted thou. lol I know it's 4 rows and they are spaced about a foot apart each way. My carrots are coming up in all 3 pots as well as my radishes and beets. I got 2 cherry tomatoes already with one almost ripe and the plant is only 6" tall. lol

Yummy! I love sweet corn. I have never tried to grow my own though. I always get the store bought stuff. I bet yours is going to taste great.

I think grandpa Bob's garden is always productive. Does what you harvest take up a considerable proportion of what your family eat? I suppose you have mentioned a variety of vegetable and fruits that you planted in your garden. If I have one myself, I will be quite satisfied.

Yum! Yum! Sweet corn! and you're on your way to having some! That's something to look forward to!

Fresh picked corn from your own back yard is the best. Did you know that your daughter is going to be our next President. She is going to make you head gardener. She did say she would get someone else to do the weeding for you. Do you even use any of that black ground cloth to help cut down on weeds? It does help, I have also used newspapers folded up and layed in between rows of corn. Once corn starts growing its hard to get in there and get the weeds. The newspapers help keep the weeds down, lets the moisture in and keeps it there. I used bricks to hold the newspaper down on the ground. I am a lazy framer but a good one. Now I let my son do the work, since he got grown he enjoys he garden. Plus he likes competing with some of the neighbors.

Oooohhh, Grandpa Bob, you're making me hungry for sweet corn! I LOVE sweet corn with lots of butter - oh, the calories but when I eat sweet corn I don't care!! Now, if only I could get some right now, this very minute, but of course I can't! Annie

What great memories this brings back reading about the fresh corn. After my mother moved to the country and when the kids and I would go visit during harvest time it was so nice. We would go pick corn, take it home, shuck it and mostly we would scrape it off the cob and she would cook it up then bag it for the freezer and that was the best sweet creamed corn around. Of course with the kids we would have some on the cob also.

I'm VERY late planting! We've had so much rain here in Ohio that just today I planted a few tomato seeds.
