Watching Corn Grow

July

Tiny Egg

"Tinkerbell" has had a rough summer. First she decided to try to hatch a batch of unfertilized eggs...once we convinced her that wasn't going to work she started to molt. She hasn't been laying eggs for some time now. I am guessing this egg is hers as she returns to laying. I have never heard of a chicken laying such small eggs at any time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANNY

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.
