I need to look into a vacuum sealer. We have double bagged and froze sweet corn and it holds up ok, but it gets freezer burn after awhile. I didn’t put as much corn in this year so we’ll see how much we get. Might can some of that too.DavidBarkey wrote: ↑Sun Jul 17, 2022 7:16 am We freeze some but can most . We rinse the beans in lemon/salt water , pat dry and vac seal . Stays fresher . When canning we put a pinch of sugar and salt in the jars top and tail put in jars some in pieces and some whole packed .

Re: Gardens 2022
Getting a little nervous. The corn is making ears but they look a little puny. I hope they wind up getting a bit bigger.

Re: Gardens 2022
They have a little ways to go and will fill out, and then good eats. the short day corn usually has smaller ears.
let's go, it's finally time to blow.

Re: Gardens 2022
I hope so. This is Silver Queen 65 day corn. I’ve used it the last few years and we do get some small ears but not a lot. This years weather has been so goofy I should be glad it’s got this far! I would go with a longer growing variety, but I just can’t wait that long!

Re: Gardens 2022
We always planted short day to get some ready early and bi color mid day for eating fresh and some NK 199 long day, huge ear, for canning.JSinMO wrote: ↑Tue Jul 19, 2022 10:14 pmI hope so.

Re: Gardens 2022
Last year we got a bunch given to us from one of my farmer clients. They had a big corn roast and had half a big bag left over . We cut the curnals off and froze bunch of baggys . Gave them to the birds this winter as treats warmed up . they went nuts over it .Timj wrote: ↑Tue Jul 19, 2022 10:34 pmWe always planted short day to get some ready early and bi color mid day for eating fresh and some NK 199 long day, huge ear, for canning.JSinMO wrote: ↑Tue Jul 19, 2022 10:14 pmI hope so.

Re: Gardens 2022
@DavidBarkey I used to grow peaches and cream and now I can’t remember why I switched! Must have not been a very good reason.
@Timj I’ve always stuck with one variety and just staggered planting. 2 rows then wait a couple weeks and then 2 more. If I get too many varieties I forget what I put where!

Re: Gardens 2022
Nice that harvest time is close and we can chew on our goodies.
But I find it kinda sad too, that the end of summer is coming. And the trees are starting to show it.
