Picked the first corn today.

 

So pretty--and perfect!!

 

Thanks.
I'm always nervous about picking the first ears, not knowing if they're fully developed yet.

 

Gotta have some fresh corn on the cob. We tried the cooking in the cooler method. Came out great.

 

That's the name of our corn, "gotta have it', from Gurney's. I've read reviews where some people say it's actually too sweet, but I must disagree. We won't buy corn on the cob any longer. Whether it's from the store, farmer's market or roadside stand, it's all the same crap, suitable for horses and cows maybe.

 

I am hoping to have at least one ear left. Seems the squirrels really like it too.

 

Pulled the garlic today...definitely paid the price for not planting them last Fall



Dealing with the rain with the maters like it sounds like a lot of you are...a little behind but hanging in there



Experimenting with some new tater varieties this year ADK blue and reds...look and taste great
