Sweetcorn Season Getting Close

Since it was the day after a rain, field work did not seem prudent.  Instead, I visited the family farm near Valmeyer.  After last year's drought, it looks like we might have a good sweetcorn crop.  The corn is silking and should be ready in about 2 weeks.  There is nothing like fresh picked sweetcorn.  If you are accustomed to buying sweetcorn in a supermarket, I suggest you try a roadside stand or better yet find a way to pick your own.  Fresh sweetcorn is one of the best summer treats.
