First 2025 Sweet Corn from My Garden; Cooked a la Shugart Login/Join

I planted 85-day sweet corn this spring, and tonight enjoyed the fruits of my labor. Cooked some boneless, skinless chicken thighs with a homemade Chimichurri rub.


Every summer, Shugart would post this easy yet tasty microwave corn recipe so that is how I prepared tonight's corn.

I'm trying to think a better dinner than that. Sweet corn rocks, chicken thighs rock too. Nice, nice, nice dinner dude!

Looks great! Tasty! And we do miss Jim. I've used and will continue to use that method of cooking corn on the cob.

I found the recipe on this website and I've been making it for years. I use a spice grinder due to the recipe having a bay leaf in it.

That looks great!

It's crazy how the growing seasons are so different according to geography. Here in PA the corn is MAYBE 6 inches tall right now.

My grandfather had a huge garden and used to opine that spring comes 2 weeks earlier every 100 miles you go south in the US. IME, he was pretty accurate.

Most of my warm season transplants (eg tomatoes) and seeds (eg corn) were planted in my garden on March 15th. Some people plant 2 weeks earlier than me but they risk a late frost.

What you grow yourself will ALWAYS be better than what you'll find in the grocery store! Sometimes you can get lucky at a farmer's market, but still, picking it off the plant, taking it into the kitchen, and preparing cannot be beat.

I don't grow corn any more due to lack of space, but I remember fondly the crops I used to harvest. Congrats to tater for his accomplishment, and fond memories of Jim for his quality posts, and kindly perspective.

I remember that adage growing up in the Upper Midwest. Now, a farmer would be filing for bankruptcy in the fall if his crop was merely knee high at the 4th of July. Shoulder high for field corn and waist high for sweet corn.

I get 2 growing seasons a year here and plant most warm season crops (eg tomatoes) St Patrick's Day and Labor Day. By "get" I mean July kills 50% of the garden (ie corn is dead by 4th of July)and August finishes off another 25%. I've tried a 2nd corn planting and most sources say not possible but one listed very specific sweet corn variety. I tried it and only grew corn stalks with no ears of corn. I found another possible corn variety I might try this year.

I am soooo ready to start seeing sweet corn in the grocery stores.....love the stuff. I am starting to harvest some mature okra pods now, and looks like I will have a good stand for most/all of summer.
