The weeds are a real bugger! I think we were too ambitious and made the garden way too big, but it will be a good learning experience. Son is already planning next year and how he'll do a few things differently!<br />We did all heirloom tomatoes--any opinion on varities?<br />So glad I stumbled upon your blog!<br /><br />Cowgirl VStickhorsecowgirlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167094045033324094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960737516355970649.post-45216903237623485622011-06-20T17:52:23.540-07:002011-06-20T17:52:23.540-07:00Hmmm, never thought to freeze corn.

I love those yukon potatoes :o) If I ever get more than enough I'm putting them in jars too :o)<br /><br />Daisy, the corn is good like that and I always "suck" the cob to get all the juices :o) I always add a little milk and a spoonful of sugar to the water and let it simmer.<br /><br />Piper, it's good to have it both ways :o), you can always cut it off the cob after cooking if you want to make another dish..like Corn pudding etc.<br /><br />Ohiofarmgirl, that Chicken you baked must have drifted this way..I've had baked chicken on my mind for two days now :o)..Corn fritters with it would have been delicious too.Gingerbreadshouse7https://www.blogger.com/profile/01285484153508538882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960737516355970649.post-46077437761000212822011-06-20T16:54:25.109-07:002011-06-20T16:54:25.109-07:00Ginny!

I roasted a chicken - you know, a FRESH chicken - and it was amazing. We dont have good corn yet but I cant wait.

I bet it is good like that. My mom used to cook the corn and then cut it off the cob before putting it into bags for the winter.
