I did a post on the subject last week fortunately, the first five ears were just right but they were 7 days past the 70 days to harvest. Given our summers, I'm not surprised.<br /><br />I appreciate your link on picking tomatoes. My mom always did that and I adopted her practice. I pick them about one day early and as you point out they ripen just fine. It also is less tempting for the critters which seem to know exactly when something is ripe. ediblegardens52/Sue Martinhttps://www.ediblegardens52.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-46610919913474467792021-08-16T12:14:20.215-04:002021-08-16T12:14:20.215-04:00You have a lot of variety in your harvests!

I do the same for the paste tomatoes, and let them sit for a few days indoors before using them. Too bad about the sweet corn though. Even the farmers her get it wrong though, and we've been disappointed at what we've bought at the farm stands. I can almost smell the peaches though - nothing like a homegrown one!Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.com
