It's that time of year.....

                                                                          ..... for plating corn!

We can always tell by the aroma of liquid cow poop wafting through the air! The trucks loaded with  liquid fertilizer and solid cow poop goes up and down our road all the time. When the farmers plant is a good clue when to start our own garden!




Hard to imagine this work was done by a horse and plow. Sowing the seeds was also done by hand.

By mid September, fresh Jersey corn (the best in the word, really!) will be ready for your table!

  2. The people in Taber, Alberta might take issue with your assessment. They like to think their corn is the best.
