Corn

...sort of. This is actually a testimony to how deceiving a photograph can be. For one thing, the plate on which these ears are sitting is actually a....

...salad plate. Which makes these much, much smaller than they appear.

And if you turn them over, most are quite sparse in the kernel department....sigh.
Next year, we plant more or none at all. Corn needs to be planted in large blocks so it can properly pollinate and despite my shaking the stalks daily, our success was minimal.
The chickens, however, were quite content with our failures.

I've never had much luck with corn. It's not because I don't like corn, I love corn. Most corn grown around here is feed corn. I bet you're the same.

Hope it tastes good.
