I got corn!
I harvested, shucked, silked, cut off, and packaged 62 ears of corn this morning. My sister-in-law did the same thing to 87 ears yesterday. My brother set a trap for the coons and hung plastic Wal Mart bags over random ears on the stalks. It looks like redneck heaven, but looks like it worked for one night. Tonight might be a different story. My cousin came by and told us to put marshmallows in the trap. That's how he catches the coons in his barn. Mom had some, so I guess we will try that tonight. Mom cooked some of the corn I picked this morning along with some peas, cornbread, and fresh tomatoes (which I also harvested this morning). Add some iced sweet tea to that and it doesn't get any better.Life is good! Hot as hell, but good!

good looking corn patch. I don't have the room to grow corn...wish I did. But I have been canning black eyed peas for the past couple of weeks and have a gallon on the vines right now to pick tomorrow.
I did 55 ears yesterday~!
Nothing better than a good old vegetable dinner.

That's exactly how I fix it. Had it yesterday and today with fresh tomatoes and cornbread
Sure would be helpful if "anonymous" would sign a name,so I would know who I am answering. I feel sure I know you and you know me because you get here through Facebook, but how about a name!!!!

Thanks, Kristina. That helps. The corn was delicious.
