In Praise of Popcorn

One of my very favorite treats is a nice bowl of buttery salty popcorn! I mean…has anyone gone to a movie WITHOUT eating at least a small bag?? Not me! So, in the spring I thought, what the heck…I'm going to try to grow my own popcorn! I love experiments! So I purchased a packet of popcorn seeds and set them out in our raised beds. Gave them plenty of water and waited!

Well, as you can see, my experiment was a great success! We just picked and shucked the corn and have it sitting in our garage as it requires a couple of weeks of drying before it will be ready to pop! My mouth is watering already!!
