Last summer we had to wait until almost the end of August. This summer, with the heat, the garden has come on a treat.
We had our first corn ready for tonight's Wiener Roast!
There is nothing better than sweet corn that is freshly picked. And we do mean fresh picked. Our Dad, Paul, used to maintain that the water should be boiling before the corn was picked.
It is certainly the most deliciously sweet flavour, and when the first cobs made their appearance tonight on the cook-out beach, they were snapped up eagerly, gone almost before
Brian could set them out on the tray!
That's one of the 
advantages of having our own organic garden -- the taste is so fresh and flavourful. Mind, it can spoil you for the supermarket veggies, which have had to struggle just to get to the shelves. Still, corn dipped in butter, eaten beside the lake in a crowd of good company, that's unbeatable.
