The Garden Bug: Harvesting Corn

By Brenda Weaver

When their tassels begin to turn brown, pull corn "ears" downward and twist them off the stalk. Remove all husks, tassels and stalks, and place shucked cobs of corn in cold water until time to cook. Bring a large kettle of water to a rapid boil, adding 1 tablespoon of salt for each quart of water. Toss in all your corn cobs and boil them 3 - 5 minutes. Remove and drain, and serve hot with butter and seasonings.
