There is nothing like fresh corn. My husband usually boils it for a minute or less, and then slathers it with butter. Some don’t cook it at all, but eat it right from the stalk.

Are you keeping notes, or a journal? This is a wonderful learning experience not only for you, but for all of us, I hope.

I have a list of everything out there and when I planted it and remember what happened to each category of seed and plants. I started the middle of January with some seed and will start the last of January next year due to the extended cold we had this year. I got the strawberries earlier than that as I ordered the plants and the same with the blackberry plants. So, the answer is yes, I can document what happened.

I've said before if I get no food after going through all this, I'm joining a convent.

I found the quickest way a few years back. I just cook the corn husk and all in the Microwave, let it sit for a bit, and then cut off the stem end.

Grab hold of the husks and silks and shake, so that gravity pulls the corn out. The silks come right off. No need to husk and remove silks before hand. Once cooked the silks come off quicker and easier.

I’m gonna have to find out how much time in the Microwave, since I have forgotten that.
