Corn

Post: # 205436Post Durgan »

http://www.durgan.org/URL/?MEHSP 13 August 2010 Butter Gold SE Corn
This is the first corn picked. The cobs are good quality, but the taste is marginal when they were cooked. Corn has been so modified over the years, that the old taste of 20 or so years ago has disappeared, but the cobs can be kept for longer periods in the supermarkets , without losing their non-taste. My corn is a little late this year, since a rabbit ate the first seedling, and replanting was necessary.

Hey, You are supposed to let the smut grow and cook, assuming this is the gray mess, and pretend it is a gourmet mushroom.

Yeah I know, I googled it last year and discovered I could be making a fortune selling my corn if only there were some Mexicans around here...... :lol:

I'll pass on it though. :pukeright:
