sweetcorn - is it time yet?

[guywhofishes]

also - I wish our heirloom tomatoes would get with the program and ripen ;:;banghead

they're monstrous/healthy - just green (one is finally turning)

I heard of some folks picking tomatoes July 4. If so - what variety????

 

[martinslanding]

is this a sweet corn or tomato thread???

the Oasis is selling sweet corn so my guess is it's ready...maybe

Ripe by July 4th is most likely "early girls" tomatoes

We started eating our sweetcorn yesterday, and the tomatoes are turning. All we need now is for the bacon to ripen, BLT season open soon.

any good?? I think it is early but if they got it in early the weather worked out this year.

Just peeled 4 cobs for supper, by the looks of it, it could of been picked 5 to 7 days later. Will let you know how it tasted here shortly.

I like my sweetcorn a little on the early for ripeness. Digest's better, not somuch like a feeder steer'

if you want to ripen tomatoes take a shovel and push it down cutting the roots about 1/2 of the way around the plant, it tricks the plant into ripening all that are on it both large and small as its main job is to produce seed and the plant doesn't know what is going on so it will be shocked into ripening the tomatoes, the plant will regrow the roots and recover. I have done this a couple of times and it does work.

Yes it’s time. Had some really good Shiite last night.

I grabbed a cob from garden. Looks just a bit early but tasted great
