  1. I Asked 3 Chefs the Best Way To Cook Corn—They All Said the Same Thing

    The first real sign of summer isn’t the weather—it’s the mountain of corn at the farmers market. Suddenly every cookout, picnic, and Tuesday night dinner starts orbiting around sweet corn, whether grilled alongside burgers or eaten str…

  2. @malte Yes, the soil temp and how it affects germination is part of it, but also I got tired of crows and starlings pulling up the seedlings and having to endlessly re-sow. Starting in pots gives me better control of each planting and helps with timing each successive planting. Photo from 28 May 2024.

  7. This morning we got the cucumbers (Marketmore 76), zucchini (Dunja), yellow squash (Sunburst), and butternut squash (ButterBaby) started in their seed trays. Okra will follow in a few days. Now I've got to get plants promised to daughter potted up in their planters before she gets here next week.

  8. Almost overnight, we have a transformation of greenhouse space. This is why getting the date right for planting out the tomatoes, peppers, etc. is so important around here. We need the space to get the corn and cucurbits started. More in a later post.

  9. Now that we have our greenhouse bench clear, it's time to get going with the first planting of sweetcorn. These 33 pots will make up the first planting (1 40ft. row). We always do 3 plantings, each 2 weeks apart, so when these sprout and get big enough to plant out we will start the next, etc... If you want more info check out my toots from May and June in the last two years.

  14. CW: Nudity

    Feeling happy now that I can, with a clear conscience, relax this afternoon & do some painting. In the last 24 hrs I've defrosted one of our freezers while batch making:

    Spiced #Tea #bread
    #Cream of #Sweetcorn #soup
    Cream of #Cauliflower & #Ginger soup
    #Leek & #Pea soup
    #Tomato & #Butterbean soup

    We've ate half of the tea bread, with the other half in the freezer and had soup for our lunches. There are now 30 single portions of soup in our freezer which will keep us going for a while 😋

  19. Sweetcorn was first cultivated over 9,000 years ago by Indigenous peoples in Mexico. Today’s tip: sow in blocks, not rows, to help with wind pollination—essential for full cobs. Keep soil warm and moist, and you’ll be munching sweet, juicy kernels by late summer! #GrowYourOwn #Sweetcorn

  21. A convenient and comforting British favorite is tuna sweetcorn mayonnaise, which can be used as a filling for sandwiches, wraps, or jacket potatoes. It's incredibly easy to prepare and packed with My goal was my take on this simple, comforting dish, instead of tuna sweetcorn mayonnaise, is Butterbean and Sweetcorn Jacket Potatoes.

  22. My somewhat less-than-impressive first crop of sweetcorn from the allotment 🙂 Only just over half the cob fertilised, but I'm not too surprised as only six plants made it past the slugs to flowering. Rather anaemic looking too, but they tasted okay👍 #Sweetcorn | #Allotments #VegGardening | #Kent #England

  28. Got all the corn through the shredder just ahead of the rain. This will get the compost cooking in a hurry.

  29. BeetBear got the remaining corn from this summer's crop pulled up and into the cart. He always plans it so that the first hill planted is the last one removed. Before removal he stops to pay his respects to the corn spirits and give thanks for the excellent crop supplied. He says dad can take care of the shredding business, because he isn't going anywhere near that noisy contraption. 😀

  30. It's a nice, dry, cool-ish day so it's time to start clearing out the corn stalks. We use a garden fork to make sure we get up a lot of the roots and stack everything up off the ground, getting ready for the shredder. We LOVE our sweet corn, so we don't mind the effort of cleanup. Had a good year. 😀 🌽

  31. Well, it started on July 26th with our first picking, and ended today, one month later, with our last picking for the year. Lots of good eats along the way. BeetBear has declared the harvest over and it was a great year, but lots of work. It's going to be a long wait for our next corn crop to start!😀 🌽

  32. It shan't be long now before I try harvesting our modest crop of sweetcorn. I count four plants making it to fruiting. I'm too tired now to look back and see how many I planted, but it was more than this, I'm sure 😊 #Sweetcorn #AllotmentGardening #VegGardening #Allotments | #Kent #England

  37. @gardening One portion of the third planting did not get very good pollination this year and a lot of the ears look like this. Hoping that there's at least one more picking of the good stuff left.

  38. Got some stuff set out for the neighbors this afternoon. The last 3 cukes, what is probably the last okra, some jalapeños, eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, and squash. More corn tonight but we're getting to the end now. Maybe one more picking, two if I'm lucky. Only counting these as 8 ears tonight. Will post pix of the rejects later.

  43. A beautiful day here. Had to take the floofy cat to the vet today, so no harvesting (except for corn, of course). Did get some general yard work in after lunch. Nice being outside when the sun isn't trying to melt your brain. If anyone is interested, I took a shot of the corn patch just before I picked this afternoon. Lots of goodies still to be had in there! Happy corning everyone! 😀

  44. Much cooler today, almost Autumnal. Temps around 75°F (~24°C) all day. Had more pep today, so a little bit of everything got picked. I keep thinking the zukes and cukes have had it, but keep finding more. With today's corn picking we smashed through our old record of 219 ears harvested. Now at 222 with still LOTS more coming. Skunks be warned: We are watching you!
