We're experimenting with our corn this year. Decided to freeze half of it with the shuck on and half we blanch like we've always done. I was wondering if anyone else skips the blanching and just throws your corn into the freezer? If so, how does it taste?
This is the triple sweet variety, Honey Select. Pretty darn sweet but not to sweet for me. We like it and it produced well. I put the rows 4' apart and thinned the plants to 10-14" apart. They all did good but we did plant some mammoth sunflowers at the end of the garden and the row that is heavily shaded produced the same number of ears, but they are all about 3/4 the size of the others. (Note taken, corn likes sun). We fertilized with horse and cattle manure and a little 13,13,13 at knee high. I think we done good this year for the amount of guessing I did.
