To make our creamed corn, we roasted the corn over our maple evaporator / grill
Roasty and toasty corn — plus some roasted jalapenos
After cutting the corn from the cobs, we have a huge bowl of kernels

Lots of corn
We picked the rest of our sweet corn today — these weren’t the best (or most fully pollinated) cobs like we picked to blanch and freeze. These were all the rest, which we will use to make creamed corn tomorrow. We got two big steamer trays overflowing with corn. Enough that Anya and I called Scott for a ride up to the house after we harvested it. We walked about twenty feet with our two duffel bags stuffed with corn and said “break!”.
Grilled Corn
We’ve been picking corn and cooking it fresh from the plants — today, we grilled some. Very tasty, but it dries out if you cook it too long.
Blueberries
Now that we’ve got a peanut butter electric fence up, I’ve got some blueberry bushes planted in the orchard.
Corn Harvest
Anya and I harvested a lot of corn today — 54 cobs are in the freezer, and a few didn’t make it up the hill!
Packaged up and ready for the freezer:
Tomatoes, Corn, and Pumpkins
Today, we harvested some tomatoes; Anya made a “tomato bowl” with the larger tomatoes to hold the smaller tomatoes
Plus corn and pumpkins!
Corn and Beans
Harvested more corn
And beans
Pumpkin Progress and Corn Harvest
Some of our pumpkins are starting to turn orange
And we harvested our first eleven ears of corn. A few weren’t fully developed (small kernels), but some were beautiful, plump yellow kernels. Very sweet and tasty — especially since we ate it within hours of harvesting it.
Corn Progress
We’ve got tassels all over now — silks on corn, cobs forming. This is the Damaun SH2 sweet corn we’ve planted for the first time this year.
Pumpkin Progress
The pumpkins are starting to look like … pumpkins!
