Thought I might share the best cobs this year. We’ll be cooking up colorful popcorn here for months!

Post an update after you've cured the cobs and popped some. I've thought about growing some.

These look beautiful! I tried growing some sweet corn last fall and all I ended up with was smut.

In some places corn smut is a delicacy. Just doesn't look too appealing to me...but there again, raw oysters don't look appealing to lots of people and I love'em!!!!

(But honestly, I can't really say raw oysters look that appealing to me, either!

Finally, finally, finally got around to trying to pop some corn! A friend did extensive research(aka a 1 minute Google search) they concluded it was WAY too dry to pop. Dont trust Google for everything!

The cob on the far let was particularly attractive

Blessed are the "cracked" ... for it is they who let in the light.
