You've gotta make creamed corn with that. The local restaurant we like had it on the menu, literally corn with cream, it was so fucking good. And then they took it off the menu! (their menu is very seasonal)

I have a question regarding corn: so I have a bunch of ants that have started herding aphids on one of my ears of corn. It's a smaller plant with only one ear. Is there anything I can do about this to save it, or should I just toss it to the compost pile??

Im no expert but, I would leave it...
if you toss it , the ants will find another plant to farm the aphids on.

Great year for corn in Colo, that is if the hail didn't get it. I don't have enough room for corn. But what I have seen is over 8' tall. Good year for veggie garden even after the hail storm here a couple of days ago. Had some loss but coming back well. Amazing how much better of a gardener I am now that I have a hobby in the basement.

Just stoked that for the first time in a few years I get to play host instead of fielding questions about why they never come to MY house. My lab is sufficiently broken down and stored now people are allowed back inside.
