Alan and I had to run up to the bank this morning (which is in a town about 8 or 9 miles away from where we live). To get there we drive along a small highway through wheat, corn and cotton fields. We stopped along one of the private farm access roads and I took this photo of the first row of corn planted in a farmers field. I liked how the row started with short corn, and the corn grew taller the farther down the row you looked.
Mmm-Mmm! Can't wait for corn harvest! Farm-fresh sweet corn...YUMMY!

Fantastic photo! There is nothing in the world like fresh picked farm corn. It's sooo sweet and tender. We had many, many farms here that had corn as far as you could see, now there is no more corn just houses as far as you can see. This is progress in a suburb?? I find it all very scary. TFS.

Wow, your corn is MUCH taller than ours right now lol. Ours is only about 4 inches tall! I too can't wait for the sweet corn! Yummmm... my DD keeps saying she wants to eat corn on the cob (she's 3). She doesn't understand yet that we have to WAIT for it and boy is it a LONG wait!
thanks for sharing!

Boy, you are teasing me Big time!! We just moved here to Hawaii per the Air Force and I don't think they grow corn here. the commissary was sell one ear of corn for .70 each. I have'nt even check the local food chains yet. So far it looks like I am on frozen corn for the next 3 years or its .70 each. Oh Brother!!
