August 1, 2013

Sweet corn season is in full swing.  My folks came a week ago and helped freeze corn.  That time we had 11 dozen ears and froze 44 pints.  They went to a school reunion for the weekend and came back on Monday and we did 21 dozen ears that produced 77 pints.  My mom is a glutton for punishment.  It was a big day, but we will be glad to have the corn.  That is the most we've ever done at one time.   We usually plan to do smaller batches, but with the cool spring this year the first rows didn't sprout until the later ones did, so we had a bunch ready all at once.

Our yellow squash has died, but I am going to freeze zucchini.  I've discovered I like it in my soups.
