The First Corn of the Season


The First Ear of Corn


This year's corn patch hasn't done that well.  Of the 50 kernels of corn that were in the seed packet (yes, I counted them all) and planted, only about a dozen germinated.  M bought a second packet and planted those, too, but, only a handful of those germinated and none of them have produced any ears of corn, yet.  

However, there was one ear of corn that looked like it might be ready to be picked and we picked it on Friday.

A Perfect Ear of Corn

I boiled it and let daughter enjoy it as she wasn't home to try any of last year's fresh corn, only the ones that I froze.  I just tried a couple of kernels and they were quite sweet.  Dancer enjoyed his treat of  6 kernels of corn, counted out and given one by one to him.  

And of course, I had some fun, too!  Meet Cornelia Cornhusk:
