It's done growing... Sooooo, I strip the kernels, freeze on a sheet pan, then vac-pack.... 2 sheet pans....
I'll bag them in the afternoon, after a good freeze...

The crop was a little slim... About 80% of the stalks has 1 ear and about 50% of those were full sized ears...
BUT !!!! It's darn good corn.... Freezes very well and tastes fresh after being frozen....
Bodacious is the variety... Best I have found...

Would love to have corn like that Dave!
We get good white corn in the winter, but only for a couple of months & I eat it almost every day.

Looks good, Dave. I've been there plenty of times on the yield, just can't figure it out some years. After tomatoes, growing sweet corn was my obsession for many years. Always looking for that perfect ear, just too many varieties to try them all...

I got it vac-packed... It's been all of 20 minutes and I think I had 23 packets.. Some are already in the freezer... Today is day#2 of doing this... and the last...

That corn looks great. Too bad there was a low yield. Our garden did not do well. Might still see a few Tomatoes yet. My Daughter got a late start...JJ
