Corn

StirringI mentioned in an earlier post that the bees were really working the corn tassels a couple of weeks ago.  I got some pictures (click on them…they are pretty neat when full size!) of Stirringhoneybees as well as a bunch of blue orchard mason bees that were around.  It turns out that the starlings were really working the Blue orchard mason bees on corncorn too.  This weekend, we had to harvest a bunch of the corn before the birds did.  We ate some for supper this weekend and Emily Blue orchard mason bees on cornfroze most of it still on the cob.  She blanched the ears for 6 minutes then let them cool.  Once cool and dry, she then wrapped them in cling-wrap and put the ears in freezer bags.  We probably harvested half of the corn so we’ll see what the birds left us later in the week!Emily with corn husksPopaw shucking corn

    Oh corn! You’ve got tons of corn! I didn’t plant any this year. Maybe next year.
