| Bruce, Very nice pic, as usual. I put a few plants in August. Here's what's ripe or near-ripe on my counter:

| Very nice, next year I'll put in 2 or 3 new plants mid-summer and see what happens. It'll probably guarantee our earliest frost ever. |
|
| Bruce & Chris, Are all your pics shot w/ fill flash. Everything look so lively. BTW: Glad to see you had a great late-season harvest. I do think our climate's changing, maybe for the better ;) Cheers, Grub |

| Hi Grub, With digital it’s so easy to do both, then pick the one that looks best on the screen. For me it’s usually the one with flash fill, but not always. The pic above is with flash in sunlight. It has been unseasonably warm this year but in the last few days there’s been a very light frost in the morning. Sunday morning, 3°C. It hasn’t damaged the plants yet. Have a great season and bring on the pics. Bruce |

| Okay, I see flowers on Kimberly. Looks like it will be my first. |

| Almost got hit by frost so the skins fairly tough but darn good flavor for late Nov. This will be part of our Thanksgiving dinner. |

| Great going. Real nice pic. Tell me, FT, what are those different corns like to eat compared with a regular cob of sweet corn. We eat a lot of corn. Every day a cob or two :) |

| Feral - Very nice presentation! |

| Grub, the Indian Corn in the photo is not nearly as tasty as modern hybrids. I had not thought about it until you asked but I guess tomatoes and corn have taken different paths in the breeding program. Corn has been bred for flavor and tomatoes for roundness, redness, and shelf-life. It does make great decorations that last almost as long as a Canadian green house tomato, kids love to put the whole cob in a paper bag and microwave. It makes great pop-corn that has kind of a pepper flavor. |

| Thanks for the reply, FT. These Indian corns are available here, but I've never tried them. Grown for making tortillas or some such thing. Very pretty. Hope you enjoyed the harvest. Everything moving along nicely down here now. But in the past week we've had maybe one hour of sunshine. The rest is coastal showers and rain. |
