As corny as Minnesota in August

A rather sad patch of sweet corn. It's definitely not Kansas.

So we bought a dozen ears from the farmers market and picked one from our own patch. Here they are shucked on the counter.

Orrin challenged the boys to try to select which ear came from our garden. Here they are pondering it over.

Oh come on Silas, give us a little credit.

That's right! The purpley bruised looking one! Wait! It's supposed to look that way. It's called Triple Play since it's tri colored. I thought it would be a good cool weather short season variety to try. It seems to have done alright. There are more ears out there we'll have to pick soon, since i think we let this one go a bit long- it was a little on the starchy side.
