Does make me wonder though how huge factory farms, like those who sell to grocery stores, etc., grow peppers so they turn out as intended. It'd be the pits for them if they thought they had a hundred acres of Jalapeno Peppers, only to have them turn out sweet instead of spicy. Ya know.<br /><br />Have a great Sunday!<br /><br />God bless.<br /><br />RB<br /><><RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053380234618898848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-82435371787172700322014-07-20T05:36:24.121-07:002014-07-20T05:36:24.121-07:00RB, that is very interesting about the corn (feed ...RB, that is very interesting about the corn (feed corn). We haven't been able to grow sweet corn, and the crops that are around us may be the cause. Our popcorn is not tall enough right now either. As for the peppers, for about 3 years we planted cold and hot together, and finally figured out that didn't work, ha ha!Pioneer Woman at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533698959389851926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-85987557278240907852014-07-19T23:45:38.201-07:002014-07-19T23:45:38.201-07:00Two things I remember about corn from my childhood...Two things I remember about corn from my childhood days.<br />The first is, the first year Dad tried to freeze corn on the cob without cutting it off, and it all came out tasting like the cob, so from then on, we cut it off the cob and blanched it before freezing it.<br />The last is, one year our entire crop of corn came out as feed corn when the farmer across the road planted his feed corn on the road side right across from ours instead of behind his barn like he'd been doing. Guess the bees went back and forth, back and forth, cross pollinating and it all ended up as feed corn; so we didn't have corn in the freezer that year, but the farmer had PLENTY for his critters cause Dad let him have all ours.<br />Who'da known that would happen, although I do remember one year Dad planting a row of sweet peppers next to a row of hot banana peppers, and the banana peppers ended up sweet. We didn't even know til the baby, Tom, came toddling from the garden munching on a banana pepper like it was candy, and when Mom took it from him and tasted it, it was sweet instead of hot.
