Today we harvested corn to put into the freezer. It was great to be outside this morning in the cool air - nice and sunny and not too hot. A good day for husking corn by the dozens!

| Harold begins the job of husking all the ears. The tailgate of one of the pick-ups works great for a table. |

| We grow Golden Bantam corn. It is an open pollinated, non-sugar enhanced, non-GMO, heirloom corn. It freezes well, and has a good old fashioned corn taste. We do not care for the ultra sugary sweet corn. Golden Bantam is just good plain corn! We save the seeds for next year, too. |
 |
| Walking through the corn patch to harvest the ears is one of my favorite garden tasks. It's really neat in there, I think! A fun job! |
 |
| About 100 ears to put in the freezer! We had two rows left to harvest, but we will keep those for eating and for seed. |
 |
| The trees are already beginning to turn colors up here. |
Beautiful early fall days like this are precious up here in the north country. We know that winter is not far away. We have already had a morning with frost, but we had the sprinkler going on the tomatoes, and covered some of the tender crops. Nothing got hit, so we lucked out there.
