I love corn, but don’t grow much of it, because the doctor has restricted my carb intake. When I was a kid, my parents had a café. One day they had corn on the cobb for a veggie choice - ears cut in half like Long John Silver does.
Anyway, I ate 13 of those and wanted more. Dad wouldn’t let me - said I’d get sick.
I grow lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, peppers, and lemons indoors in the winter time in 6-10 inch pots.
When you say you grow tomatoes indoors, how do you do that, exactly?
Afterwards, even if the corn I grew had come out right, I realized it wasn’t the most practical thing to grow in a relatively small backyard garden. Especially when you could buy it fresh from local farmers at roadside stands at a fairly cheap price. It takes up too much space in the garden. The corn I used to buy was white and sweet as sugar. Really delicious. I had no idea until this time how completely different farm-fresh vegetables were in comparison to what is sold in stores, particularly in a place like I’ve lived nearly my entire life, New York City. So much flavor is lost by the time it makes it here.
While at one of my favorite Upstate NY campgrounds some years ago they had a bonfire, corn roast, & beer night. I couldn't believe how good the corn tasted. I think I ate close to 10 of them. The cold fresh beer from the keg wasn't bad either, on a warm, beautiful, starry night in dark sky country. With so many stars visible it felt like being in outer space! Again, I've lived nearly my entire life in New York City, and so these, perhaps common for many of you, sorts of things are very rare and special for me.
We’re low carb too. We have fresh corn once each summer and savor every bite. It’s so scrumptious.
