Freezing on the cob is the same... It has to be blanched to stop the decaying process... No, we don't freeze any on the cob because it wastes space in the freezer...

We are headed up to NoVa today for a jam session with the Archie Edwards Blues Foundation folks who I used to jam with regularlly and have two big coolers full of goodies for them.. The corn and cabbage I will have to get real money for ($4 dozen for the corn and $4 a head for 7 pound cabbage) because they are Mr. Clifford's and he doesn't give anything away, other than gossip and advice (lots on both)... But we are taking three kinds of peppers, several of the purple (which they aren't) tomatoes, yellow and butternut squash, and a large bad of flat roma beans to give to my homies...

Goin' be hot today... Around 97 degrees if the weatherman has it right so the P-Vine is going to the jam with me (which begins at 4:00) and we'll just make a day of it and do some stuff beforehand, like antique/collectable shop hopping looking for a plant stand she needs for her African Violet colletion which has outgrown the crappy one we bought for $10 several years ago and is on it's last legs...

Happy gardening to all my gardenin' buds,
