And more rain tomorrow, they say! Let me know if I am not doing this right, BL. actually they are very small gardens, As we used to plant green beans with the planter in question, at 4 rows at a time. ( In the year 2002 we canned over 600 qt's of green beans ) There is no more help here now, so that will never happen again. ( If You come help I will plant ) lol.

amberg - if the AS had a poll going each year for Farm of The Year... I would submit and vote for yours! one-owner family since the 1880's. very cool! up where my place is I was talking to my neighbor once... the old gent now gone, who was in his early 90's then... still getting out and about on his place... and he told me there were 'farms and acreage up here' still held by same families that acquired the acreage via the early land grant rushes...
one guy also now gone... held a lot of land his dad and family had acquired... 1920's...they ran the local Feed & Seed farming center... and would sell this or that to area families on the come of their cotton crops. his business was also a cotton processing center... run up a tab during the year on credit, pay it off with cotton. but since every ag year is not guaranteed to deliver desired results he required lands to be the collateral on the account bills, not the come of the cotton. in bad years... he got land...
as always... business is business! ~

Wont go hungry then, as I never cook less than 16 to 18 ears every night when it comes in. As for the camera manual says it does have a close setting, I just have to read it again to see how to use it. I also have the manual downloaded and saved on my favorites. ( salt and butta ) just can't wait.
u be sure and send us some pix of all that korn kooking in kitchen! sounds like half a gunny sack full per night... who eats it all?....
guess u r lucky, then... likes butta' and also butta milk, too... how many boxes u go thru a night?... not bars, boxes! lol
looking good amberg. what variety?

As a general rule the wife and daughter eat two ears apiece and I eat the rest 12 to 16 ears for me!! And it does take a lot of butter and salt for me. These are a couple of the little gadgets that we use to butter the ears with, they hold a half a stick of butter each and I use 2 of them. Will get pics. of the cooking process when it is ready. ( I can't wait )

Thanks,
" Silver Queen " I have planted it for years, everybody, myself included, seem to like the white corn better than the bi-color or yellow. I would like to try some super sweet but the seed is to high for me to buy lbs. of it.
