    Never grew it before.
    Hubby was thrilled.
    It was SOOOOOOOOO GOOD.
    Garden tomato and garden peppers on the burger and 10 min from stalk to dinner plate corn on the cob! Priceless EATING!

    Congratulations!!!! I can see you now with butter dripping down your chin and a silly grin on your face as you enjoy that ear of corn. ;)

    How funny! we did the same thing last night, except I had Italian Sausage in the fridge. Yum. Our first corn of the season, also. and I said the same thing to my kids last night. It was priceless. The first of many this coming season.

    It is indeed priceless eating DMJ24, I can still remember my very first corn eating experience from my very own first crop not long ago!!

    Another corn-a-holic is made!
    There are few pleasures in life that compare to putting the pot to boil, going to the garden for your very own corn, and then sitting down to a feast. I congratulate you on joining the butter-on-the-chin, eyes-closed-in-bliss crowd!

    I brought the eaten cobbs to the chicken coop and my chickens (normally quiet) squawked with joy and danced!
    Ever see a single chicken pick up a WHOLE cob AND dance and run to the corner to protect it? FUNNYX2!
