2Lane,Yep. In this part of the country, if corn isn't ready around the 4th, the hot, dry weather is not good for a corn crop.
Mine is only ankle high, but I will have a good crop in August just like every year. Many new corn varieties produce in only 65-70 days. I never plant until mid May to escape late frosts.If it's knee high on the 4th around here, it was planted late. It's common for it to be waist high on the 4th now.
Plant based meat.You don't like pork, beef or chicken? That's where most of the corn goes.
Yeah, I also forgot Popcorn. As long as I don't see the yellow kernels, I'm ok. I'm just sick of seeing it.You don't like pork, beef or chicken? That's where most of the corn goes.
Thank you. We also grow a lot of milo, which looks a lot like corn. The sweet corn growers that sell to the public do really well, and I love the just-picked corn. We shuck it, blanch it and freeze the same day. I went through my old home town a couple years ago, and saw something I had never seen before...fields of bright yellow Canola!2Lane,
I see you're in Oklahoma. On the ONE trip I've ever made west, we passed.through your state. The thing I remember most is the beautiful fields of corn. That seems appropriate for this thread.![]()
I have discovered a better way to fix sweet corn than boiling. After shucking, I soak in water for 30 minutes, then brush with olive oil and spices and wrap in foil. Roast on grill, turning periodically for about 20 minutes. Turns out more flavorful than boiling. If you don’t soak in water, it can tend to burn; soaking prevents that and allows steam to assist with cooking.Thank you. We also grow a lot of milo, which looks a lot like corn.

Normally, we shuck and boil sweet corn for 8 minutes and then cut off the cob and freeze. We found another way for eating off the cob that's worth a try. We boil the corn for 8 minutes with the shush on it. The we put the still unshucked corn on the BBQ and smoke/cook it for a while. It's pretty good.I have discovered a better way to fix sweet corn than boiling. After shucking, I soak in water for 30 minutes, then brush with olive oil and spices and wrap in foil.
