Those are so pretty!
I’ve always wondered what home grown popcorn tastes like compared to store bought.
Is there a significant difference in freshness and taste?
Speaking of freshness and taste...
I used garlic that I planted in Fall of 2018 the other day and it was great! The reason I still had it was the bulbs were tiny I picked early because it got extremely rusty due to heavy rains that season.
I had some garlic I bought from the store a month or two ago and it must have been stored for a long, long time because it was pretty tired.
We’ve become kind of ‘Popcorn Snobs’ and growing your own is better than store bought in our opinions.
I do have a fall market I go to each October specifically to stock up on popcorn that is locally grown. My favorites are ‘Mushroom’ and ‘Sunburst.’
Year before last we grew ‘Puffy Pop’ which is HUGE, but has too many hulls. A better variety is ‘Cream Pop’ which is the same with less hulls.
We’re purists - just butter and a little salt. :)
