The dry weather here has slowed up my first planting of sweet corn. It won't be ready before I leave for Mike's shoot

Just be thankful you don't have wild hogs.

Two years ago I had planted two separate patches of sweet corn, about a mile and a half apart. One night before they were ready the hogs found one of the patches and totally destroyed it, in ONE NIGHT!

Don’t forget to leave toothpicks for the ‘coons.

My method of cooking corn on the grill is to soak the unhusked ear for a few hours in water then grill with the husk on. The water it absorbers aids in the cooking. Really good tasting and tender.

I wholeheartedly agree Steve. Been doing it that way for decades!

Black bears will decimate a corn field in short order.

After they finish with your corn they will focus on your apple trees and bust the limbs down to bring the apples closer to them.

We’ve had a pretty wet spring and summer here in Ohio so mine is doing ok. I’m certainly glad I do not have hogs to deal with like you folks do in the south. Here’s to summertime in America!
