\"\"<\/a>I’ve learned that the end of July is NOT a good time in rural Virginia to try to get together with friends. It’s all because of the corn.<\/p>\n

Corn…corn everywhere…sweet corn, feed corn…backyard corn…fields of corn….corn, corn, corn.<\/p>\n

Everyone’s dealing with bushel after bushel of corn to process and store, or process and sell, or process and store for animal feed. The corn stalks along our rural road are a towering mass of green. Field after field of corn dots the landscape, interspersed with hay, tobacco and fields dotted with black and brown beef cattle.<\/p>\n

I harvested 40 ears of sweet corn from my little 8′ x 10′ garden bed. The pictures today are of my 40 ears of sweet corn, awaiting blanching and freezing, and me all dirty from garden work but standing proudly by my sweet corn. We left some immature ears of corn on the stalks, so there will be more to come.<\/p>\n

\nEveryone bands together to help each other during sweet corn time. Friends gather in kitchens and spend the day husking, blanching, packing and freezing corn. Canning pots are out and kitchens filled with steam as jar after jar of corn is packed, boiled and stored.<\/p>\n
