Getting ready to plant corn......













  Nothing beats fresh corn on the cob. I just love the stuff.....as long there is a ton of butter smeared on it and a good shake of the salt. Corn is a healthy food without.....a ton of butter smeared on it and a good shake of the salt.

 Corn- varies from 72 to 90 days to produce. Larger eared varieties take the longest. Indian corn takes about 90 to 105 days. So tomorrow will be day one of it's life. Yes....we start planting corn tomorrow and every three weeks....... we will repeat the process.

 By the time mid July comes around.....our 12 foot towers of corn will be ready to sell at out fruit stand. I have never grown corn really....just the home backyard gardener level. Once I get the "education" from this year's corn crop......proper equipment for planting, harvesting and packaging will be acquired.

 Now....if I could find some of these candy corn seeds....
