sweetcorn - is it time yet?

[tikkalover]

Forgot to post after supper, it was just ok, didn't have much corn flavor. As I said earlier it could of been left for awhile longer on the plant.

I planted a few acres of sweet corn on May 8 (6 different varieties). Paydirt, the really early variety was ready early last week.

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

Ah yes, corn AKA tracer rounds. For those who want to track their pooping metrics.

Was in Duluth Mon-Wed this week and from ~Walker, every little town, road side stand, etc all were advertising sweet-corn being ready and there were piles on the tables and in the ubiquitous 30yr old topper'd pickup trailers.

Anybody in Richland county got some for sale? Need about 15 dozen for canning.

We were camping last year at Fort Stevenson and the grocery store in Garrison had really good sweetcorn. We asked if they could get us 2 cases on the next order and they were happy to do it. Actually sold it to us cheaper then you could buy it by the dozen in the store.

We have been buying corn from the store in Garrison to eat with suppers. Really good again this year. I believe they buy it from somewhere in Minnesota. Spoke for 2 cases today and picking it up Sunday morning before we go home.

An Egg and Dobbins Coon candy for bait is the best I have found for Trash Pandas.

Anybody in Bis-Man area that wants the best corn there is go to main in Mandan at the Cenex and see my neighbor the corn lady. She usually is set up by 10:00 AM until the load is gone. You will not regret it, best there is I tell ya.

Where do you get the coon candy?

 

[tikkalover]

Electric fence about 8” to a foot off the ground

You don't need much and the trick is to keep it off the ground. I use a small stick and dip one end in the paste and poke it in the ground.

The ground will absorb the scent and being off the ground will help the yummie goodness create a scent cone.

Fake eggs work too but I have plenty of the real ones around.

A big boar will destroy a cheap store bought live catch trap in one catch. My traps are welded with heavy wire and I still fix them a couple times a year.

Good Luck

Well I tried sardines in one trap and tuna in oil in the other with no luck. Rotten bastard must be smart to the live trap. Ordered some coon candy. Going to try some dog food next.

Dump some bacon grease on that dog food.
