If I could buy it that cheap I would get a case and cut off the cob and freeze or can it. I would love to have sweet corn. It takes up so much room my garden isn't big enough.
I did buy some nice looking corn 6 ears at Sam's yesterday, think it was $4, not sure now.
I went on a trip too for 5 days and the weeds got ahead. It's so hot I'm not sure I'm going to mess with them. I need to water again today. The bugs got my cabbage too and the chickens the rest of the lettuce, going to till that under and the spinach. Not sure if the little bit of beets will be worth trying to grow bigger and save, may till those. I don't think I will plant turnips again, they are sweet, tender, and good. I have to taste some I canned and if they taste good will do more, otherwise no. Again I'm the only one that will eat those.
Next year, I may plant more potatoes, we shall see. But its hard to travel and have a garden.
Ok, I've got to go weedeat. I was gone 5 days and have not caught up yet. Paperwork, mowing here and at rentals. More tomatoes to pick, I'm ripening on a table trying to keep them from getting rotted by touching the soil. And hot hot weather today and the rest of the week. It's way to early for this.
They are saying a very active hurricane season. I feel so sorry for those folks on the coast and us too. Sounds like the seafood industry will be devastated for years. We were down at Corpus and all kinds of restaurants and places closed down, just school kids touring there. The recession took its toll now this oil spill will too. We all knew big oil and government were hand in hand, but looks like oil went ahead without knowing how to stop something like this. And again short cut and ran everything on the cheap so some exec could get his multi millions. The whole thing is sickening. Yes, private industry needs to be here and but what happened to their morale compass, its money no matter what they destroy. This is so bad, wonder how many years it will take to recover. Now cheney has finally crawled in his hole, wonder how many deals he made with whom in all his secret meetings. Well, I will stop now, don't need to get anymore political then I have. Sadly this has proved the environmentalist right, our planet is a fragile place and we are killing it. I take a lot of pride in knowing how to raise food, I worry that before the "big boys" are done with the world we may need some of these old skills that Americans are losing daily. All of us can if we have to do a lot toward feeding ourselves. But lets face it to do most of it would be a practically full time job for one or more family members. I only wish I had the land to raise a hog and cow for meat, of course I couldn't eat that much. I would like to buy a bunch of meat, not raised in a feed lot, but in a good clean pasture and fed out for market. Where could I find such? I want to get away from all these chemicals and additives in our foods. I'm sure many of you feel that way too.
For my 4th of July "Kaboom! in Sunset" celebration, I buy from either Walmart or Target. The prices at Walmart have been mostly around 4 or 5 ears for $1, but my grandson works at a Super Target where they sell corn for $0.10 per ear. They are shipped in crates of 50 ears, so that's $5 per crate and the limit is one crate per customer. I buy one crate and he buys one crate, giving us 100 ears of corn for the cookout if needed. All that for $10 is a steal. I wouldn't even plant two rows of corn for $10, much less hoe, water, and keep the 'coons out of it.
