Corn - Corn and more CORN!!!!!


On Monday - 8/18 - Dale single-handedly picked,
cleaned, prepped and froze 18 pints of 'Early Extra
Sweet' sweet corn... On Friday -8/22 Dale was back in the garden
once more at 8 am to pick the "Peaches &
Cream" sweet corn ***
Dale was still picking when I arrived home from
work at 3 pm and finished picking at 4 pm...
Mark came over to help with his corn freezin'
ethusiasm after a long day working on reports
for his job. Here he pulled 'the straw' for
cleaning the corn before the corn bath....
Doesn't the corn look like 'gold' here while in the bath??

Dale begins to cut the corn off the cob...
Mark & I both did our share of cutting and
bagging the corn...
Here is our harvest..

Bagged up and ready to head for the freezer..
Just received a bulletin from Dale: "the next
10 rows of 'Incredible' sweet corn is also ready
to pick & process" He's planning to pick later in
the evening today and we'll certainly be busy
after church tomorrow...

Looks like we'll be coming over tomorrow to start the corn. Let the fun begin!

We got a bunch of corn from a friend at church on the day I left to take the kids to Michigan. Guess who got to prepare all of it while I was gone? Yeah, Bill wasn't real thrilled with me about that one. :) What a job that is!
