Magz,

Blanche for 4 minutes, drop into ice water for 5 minutes, cut the cernals off the cob, vaccum bag into one pound bags and put in the freezer...

This winter it will taste just like it was just picked...

Everyone else,

We started the day by going down to help Mr. Clifford in his garden.... He has some health problems and can't do much so we picked his beans.... Picked 18 pounds off his 3 half rows... Also cut a couple cabbage heads which I'm going to take to a music jam tomorrow and sell for him... They are about 8 pounds each... He gets $2.50 for them around here but I'll try to get him $4 a head...

We put in a full day here on the farm today... The P-Vine planted half a dozen potted things down in the woods garden and I mowed and mowed and mowed... But it's done for now... The 1 1/2 inches of rain really got everything growing...

We planted these tomaotes that were supposed to turn purple so we've kinda been waitin' for that to happen... The P-Vine checked 'um this morning and about 8 of 'um were ripe... Not purple but ripe... They are ugly but taste purdy good...

Question,

I want to put in a couple compost bins and I've used T-111 in the past for the bottom to keep the compost from getting sucked up by tree roots... This evening the P-Vine and I were talkin' about it and she reminded me that T-111 is pressure treated and folks say yer not supposed to use pressure treated around veggies... So I am wondering if I use it for the floor of the compost bins if the compost will be safe to use around veggies???

Any thoughts???
