Don't care much about your deer. Just want to know when you think that sweet corn will be ready to pick up, or do you deliver. No seriously I believe your hard work will produce the fruit of your labor. Be it a beautiful buck or 2 or a whole lot of good sweet corn. I really enjoy this post you have started. Thanks for the show.
I'm thinking venison stew with fresh grilled corn on the cobb.
Yummmmm
dang, what did that corn grow 3' from 6/6-6/13?
Treefarmer, I have a killer corn chowder recipe that would go great with some bacon wrapped grilled back strap......Even at that height, your corn looks a lot better than the 10 plants I had growing. Can't wait to see that field when full grown.
As several have mentioned eating the corn, I failed to mention that this is a mixture of several old varieties of non-hybred field corn. It is a mix that has been used by an old Mennonite farmer for many years. I picked up 4 or 5, 5 gallon buckets of corn that was knocked down by the corn picker back in the winter. Shelled it out and used it for seed corn. The ears are not true to a particular color, some are white, some are yellow, some are blue and some are red, or a mixture of all the colors. Ever once in a while you will find an ear that has all red kernels. I seperated all the red ears and planted about 10 rows to see if it would come back true to the red color. It is in a different spot and had been planted a couple of weeks ahead of the food plot corn. This stuff reminds me of "Indian corn" folks use for decoration in the fall of the year. This type of corn is used for cattle feed and can also be ground into corn meal. Some folks like field corn for eating but we have been eating Silver Queen sweet corn since the middle '60's and have been spoiled! When we were in the cow business, we grew field corn for feed and had several elderly neighbors turn down sweet corn from the garden by saying they would just wait on the field corn to get theirs.
