How Much is.......?

15 years ago

How much is sweet corn where you are. I rode along with Cheryl in her new car and we stopped on our way back and bought some sweet corn. It was $3.50 for 13 ears, but the farmer threw in about 3 more ears. He had a nice big patch of sweet corn behind his house next to his field corn. I hope this corn is good. I shared my corn with Cheryl and Amber. Do you know how much sweet corn is in your area?

25 cents an ear. Occasionally the stores are running it as a loss leader and you can find it a little less than that. I buy it for my freezer.....

Because I cannot eat much corn, not sure but someone told me they saw a sign that it was 5.00 for 3 ears???? Our farmer's markets are way down due to the flooding as is our corn fields.

freeze Saving polen I seen pollen late on grape from it pruned
Q
Comments (1)
MY neighbors vines got pruned very badly by the city, and they started to produce more pollen, a month or 2 after they pollenated. I guess It could be used for hybridizing or even for the extreme naturalist-->(or belifes I guess), That don't believe in saving pollen. What I did want to ask is. Do you know what IS a good way to save (grape)pollen? In the freezer, in the fridge, with nitrogen drying it. I heard of USDA selling it I wonder how much it is, but im not worried about That I know someone I can ask.

Several times a year, thoroughly soak them (slow running soaker hose spiraled around the base all the way out to 3 to 5 feet past the edge of the branch canopy) until the water has penetrated 12 or more inches. If they are in a lawn area, you can use the sprinkler system - run it 15-30 minutes a day for about a week, check moisture depth. Do this at the start of warm weather and once a month or so (depending on how they look) until is cools off. Especially the hot dry June.

do you know how much----is wasted?

susie53 -- Yes, and the receipts from the grocery store are overly lengthy. Are you supposed to think you got MORE for your money because the receipt is a yard long? If I'd kept all the Citi American Express card offers we've gotten this winter I could paper the back hall. Stop already! Since his father's death in the late 1940's my DH has received a government check for $1.89 every month. DH is beneficiary of an insurance policy his father took out when he served in WWI. It took us years to get them to issue just an annual check. I wonder how many other people are getting checks are worth less than they cost to issue and mail. (How many government employees spend their days overseeing this waste?)

Hershey's syrup - How much in a can?
Q
Comments (8)
DillyDally and Carla! That is very interesting. I noticed that the Caramel syrup in the bottle made the brownies thinner then I thought they should be --So that is why I added an extra 1/4 cup of flour and 1/8 tsp of baking powder. So the syrup in the bottle must be thinner then the can, and that is why they call for less. (1 1/2 cup instead of 16 oz.) With that in mind, you can follow the amounts in the original recipie and use the 1 1/2 c. syrup and leave out the extra flour and B.P. I thought it was a little sweeter then it needed to be. I only looked up the recipie in my old cookbook. I didn't think of the Hershey's site.

No local corn ready yet. The stuff in the stores are $2 for 5 cobs.

Wegmans is 5/$2. (40cents) and each store buys pretty much locally, meaning farms very near them. Lots of corn growing around here.

Farm stands I've seen so far are $4/doz. (33cents) and 40cents each. We've tried both stands. One was great, the other had no taste at all.

Well, I fixed four ears of corn for supper and they were really good! Jasdip, if you are just buying cobs I don't think that would taste good, buy the whole ear. Just teasing sweetie.

Our local Walmart has them for $0.15 cents each. I believe the corns were from local farmers. With all our drought in Texas, I thought produce would be much higher in cost. So far, so good.

According to our local paper, the farmer stands have it for $5/dozen. We haven't bought any yet.

Corn season is way over here in Florida, for local anyway. But we got 4 for $1 or 5 for $1 at the farmer's market when they were in season.

I've heard NJ, the Garden State, has wonderful tomatoes and corn. I wonder why our supermarkets don't buy them from there. I don't think I've ever seen produce advertised from NJ and I would like to try it without having to take a long trip.

Wally world is 20 cents and Kroger is 38 cents an ear...It'll taste nothing like my sis's Peaches and Cream so I wont be buying any...She gets her seeds from the Pioneer Seed company yearly and it is the most wonderful corn I've ever sank my teeth into!

Here in Long Island NY I've been paying 20 cents an ear. Our corn is good, bi-color and sugar-sweet. Just had some last night. The best deal I ever got was 20 years ago, I got 36 ears for a dollar. It was near the end of the season. I did a lot of freezing. Had corn all winter.

Liz, I love Peaches and Cream and Bodacious.

Not sure what ours costs cuz I'm not supposed to eat it. The local farmers had their's out about 2 weeks ago.

I used to could make a meal on good sweet corn.

Five for two bucks around here, the other day.

Local corn not quite ready, yet - my first planted came out in tassel last week, ears forming now.

FREE! :)

We grown our own - and lots of it.

We call them "ears" until the corn is off of it - then you have a "cob"

The farm stand around the corner had bicolor for $2.75/dozen today. If it's still the same tomorrow, I will get some. It always goes up for the weekend.
