Sweet corn day. 10 dozen ears. Of course it's always ready in one of the hottest days of the year.
What saved us was this $25 garage sale find. Never used it for anything but corn, but it's paid for itself.

It is also an extra large pasta pot to feed a mini army of hungry folks.

And a great crawdad boil pot if anybody ever drove up to visit from the Gulf with a cooler full.
In Charleston, SC they do use that pot for their version of “low country boil”- shrimp in place of crawfish. Just a great versatile equipment to have to be able to cook different type of eats.
Squirrel food around my parts of the world!
Amen to that bro! Give me a shrimp boil anyday - lots easier to eat - therefore I can eat more - faster. That corn would go good in the shrimp boil. Mine's a big blue enamel pot. After almost starting a buddy's house on fire while frying duck tenders, I gave up on them big fryers and opt for the enamel pot on the stove! Besides, iff'n I wanted a fried turkey, I had a friend that had 12 fryers. Every Thanksgiving, he'd fry up dozens of turkeys and give them to the rescue mission to serve for Thanksgiving Dinner! He always said one more was never a problem. In return, he got lots of projects from me!

You oughta be ashamed of yourself for posting that. It's just after 7 am and now I wanta stay home and cook what is shown for breakfast, but gotta work. Shame on you. .............. Nubs
I've got at least 10 bushel of green tomatoes on the vine and not one ripe one. They are 2 varieties of determinate plants. I top and bottom pruned one plant hoping to stimulate some color. I picked a half dozen that I thought were showing a little blush and put them in a paper bag. I expect that it's been too hot for them to ripen , looks like a cooling trend coming maybe that will end my frustration. 
He will be shamed twice as he never posted what time we needed to show up! Take notes from Tim @trc65, Henry! That is plated beautifully and rightfully paired w/ an ale and afternoon southern cocktail!
That will be rightfully paired with S Topsail oysters (the best, saltiest singles) in November at my daughter's wedding. Naturally, I'd invite you all, but my daughter controls the guest list. But if you're nice, I'll take some pictures so you can salivate.
You are probably not going to get a lot of sympathy if your boat leaks .
Now that's funny!
Corn cobs are your friend to plug any water seeping into your boat. So you might want to scrape some while you are enjoying the grub. I am all ears.

My determinate romas are ripening, but all the slicers are splitting and rotting. Five inches of rain in 5 days, 90° temps every day. Everything is a jungle.
I've got tomato plants that are 7 ft tall and pumpkins that are climbing my apple and pear trees.
Came in from spraying fungicide at 8:00 tonight with 81° and 81% RH. Sweated through my third set of clothes today.
We started the summer cold and wet, July has been very hot and a little dry. I only plant blight resistant determinate tomatoes. I was wiped out by late blight a couple of times years ago. I have grown Defiant hybrid for quite a few years and this year I tried a few Galahad hybrid. The Galahad are bigger plants with bigger tomatoes, if the flavor is good I definitely will grow them next year.

This is what you do when you have extra cabbage, but not enough for a batch of sauerkraut. Make some green cabbage kimchi.
Looks better when it's in the fermenting jar.

My best friend Mom’s would always served Korean bbq with kimchi- the traditional way to properly ferment it in their tradition was to bury an onggi underground.
