Now that it is only me I most likely will use the garden space for other things.<br /><br /> But CSUFresno has an amazing Ag Science program and a great farm store. Their COB is so good consistently over many decades it has pretty much become a annual social event in the Clovis/Fresno area. <br /><br />Lines stretch long on opening day in late May early June. They have corn up until late summer and then the faithful pretty much go into withdrawal though until next years crop comes around.

It costs an arm and a leg up here (northern Minnesota), but then the heavy forests are not corn growing country at all. Both of us are #2 eaters with salt and butter. I boil mine for 9 minutes. (Guess there are many different methods, eh?) Hubby says the old-time farm families back in Illinois would harvest and eat field corn when it was first formed and tender. Probably didn't have the flavor of sweet corn, though, I would assume. Toothpicks after the meal are a must, aren't they? :o)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-19817853457663020522021-08-17T09:16:55.461-04:002021-08-17T09:16:55.461-04:00This is wonderful!

Loads of maize gets grown in southern England for animal feed (and we guess a bit of cornmeal). F used to grow an enormous patch of sweetcorn at our allotment there too (my favorite place to sleep in the shade because she used to spread losds of dry grass along the rows to help keep moisture in the soil - shade and a soft dry bed). My humans had 100s of sweetcorns to process and freeze and even left some in a box at the gate as freebies for the neighbourhood. There are lots of modern supersweet F1 varieties that thrive in English climate.Tigger's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829665785202495073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-17170461111194751532021-08-16T22:16:46.792-04:002021-08-16T22:16:46.792-04:00Method number 2 for me.

We grow an early variety--Early Sunglow--and then also plant a later variety, Golden Queen if I can find the seeds. Sometimes we grow Bloody Butcher and make cornmeal, and most years grow some Indian corn just for pretty.<br />Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-13402720726404779012021-08-16T21:54:55.980-04:002021-08-16T21:54:55.980-04:00I like it grilled in the husk and then sliced off ...I like it grilled in the husk and then sliced off the cob prior to eating.
