Local Sweet Corn ready?

Put the electric fence up last wk, 1 wire about 4-6 inches off the ground the 2nd wire about 4to 6 above that. If they cross the barrier it might be time for Golden Malrin and coke.

Make sure the dogs are locked up.

Back in the day I had a neighbor that planted a patch away from the building site in the middle of a commercial field but accessible by a waterway. He would take 2-3 marshmallows, soften them up in the microwave on a 6" paper plate and stir in about a teaspoon of Counter insecticide. The smell of dead coons in the patch was so strong it almost prohibited him from picking the sweetcorn. I relayed this info to a pest control guy that covered my seed shed when I had a dealership and his reply was "Don't tell anybody this, but we use that all the time in hay storage sheds".

Had first batch (Penick’s) on July 3rd, smaller ears but good flavor. Bought some again today (Deardorf) and it was a lot bigger, but flavor was lacking.

Dang.. I'm planning to pick up a few dozen from Deardorff in Adel on Friday to take on vacation

Not sure if any one is in Northern Iowa. but Jakes Sweetcorn is ready and they are picking!

Best Sweet Corn I've ever had, and I helped pick back in the day, so I'm biased.
