The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsWe just shucked and 'de-cobbed' a half bushel of corn.
36 ears.
Silver King from a local farm.
Sweeter than sweet.
Shucked, de-silked, cut from cob, bagged, and frozen.
Took most of the afternoon, but worth it.

(10,142 posts)No local corn here yet (PA), but the real tomatoes are starting to come in plus I got some rare local strawberries at the farm stand.

(10,142 posts)Is advertising "Lancaster tomatoes" but maybe there's a Lancaster Georgia? They're good, way better than the crappy tomatoes at the grocery but not quite up to true local summer tomatoes.

(2,927 posts)I have been buying organic cherry tomatoes from Trader Joe's, but they have no flavor. Look forward to my homegrown.
