Silver Queen, Golden Queen, Illini Extra Sweet, Honey and Cream, even Hickory King and Bloody Butcher--but not Seneca Chief. I am very glad we tried it and it will be a staple of the garden in the future.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-2983880858264585232009-07-30T20:33:20.912-04:002009-07-30T20:33:20.912-04:00Seneca Chief is what we always grew.

We always blanched the ears of corn, put them in ice water in the kitchen sink, then laid them out on towels on the kitchen table to dry and then cut the kernels off the cob. It's delicious.Janet,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17796999156668844943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-40513010723918952482009-07-30T12:15:49.513-04:002009-07-30T12:15:49.513-04:00It is a lot of work, but it honestly the work is i...It is a lot of work, but it honestly the work is in the growing. Putting up most vegetables is a fairly quick process, especially if you have a big kitchen and the right equipment. Beets and beans take a lot of time, of course, if you can them, but freezing is quick. I just don't have a strong faith in my power company, especially in winter, so I prefer to can many things instead of depending on the freezer.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-51458852052236974932009-07-30T10:42:47.305-04:002009-07-30T10:42:47.305-04:00All that work....whew!
