Aw Shucks!






 We have a excellent crop of sweet corn this year, with plenty of great ears. Here my son Adam reluctantly show off his haul of bi-color "Sugar and Cream" from Mountain States Seeds. This has proved to be a very reliable type, though I think that I like "Ambrosia" better! This year I had four different plantings, and I have had fresh corn for over a month. My kids really like sweet corn, but they hate shucking it for some reason!



When we have a surplus, my wife likes to freeze what we don't eat fresh. She just cuts them off the ear, blanches them in boiling water for about a minute, and them puts them in freezer bags and places them in the freezer. So far we have had pretty good results doing this.
