Coop View from the Garden

Mirror on the Coop

What do you see??

I guess he heard about the corn pudding......

End Result

Excellent !!

This ripe corn is now a corn pudding, for dinner :))

Oh, she's catching on!

Sandy and the sweet corn....

So, here is Sandy demonstrating how to identify ripe corn, pull down and twist off ripe corn, recognize when it is past ripe (kernels are darker yellow) and "Always put your corn in the bucket tassel side down"...it helps keep the moisture from evaporating.

Now we picked two buckets...it was nothing less than way hot! I try to imagine what it must have been like years ago when corn was harvested by hand....Wow.

The Tassel difference...well...here is sweet tassel.

Sweet Corn in front....

Here are the few rows of sweet corn...you can see the difference...see how the sweet corn in front is shorter and has lighter tassles...and the tassles have a whole differnt shape...see previous picture.
