Get the water boiling!

Peaches and Cream Corn
The silks are drying on the corn and today it was time to take a peek.  And it's ready!  I really like to pick corn just before plunging it in the boiling water as the sugar starts turning to starch on the sweeter varieties as soon as they're picked, but I just couldn't wait to see what was hiding under the husks.

The next week or two will be a surfeit of corn on the cob.  This seems early to me, but it'll all be due to the Remay cloth.  I notice that the little corn plant left out in the cold while the rest of the plants were covered is only just now forming cobs.  Remay works!
