@seedcorn I told you I'd post photos of that too tightly planted corn when I ate some. That was last night.
This first one shows it after I stripped off most of the outside husks and the silk sticking out.

This one is after stuck it in the microwave, I cooked it for 90 seconds on high on one side then turned it over and cooked it for a minute and a half on the other side, Then finished husking and silking it.

To me the real test will come in a month. That's when I get into the third batch I planted, It's more "interior" which mainly means more shaded. I plan to side-dress that with nitrogen this afternoon.
I'm eating STRAWBERRIES from the garden View attachment 35557!!
Last year I had teeny-tiny little slugs in there that made me scrub the few un-damaged ones I could find half to death. This year - so far - I'm getting just enough every evening for a nice bowl of berries and cream after dinner.

The loaf cracked and I didn't have the sugar, cinnamon and walnut topping to hide that. Also made it with whole milk instead of buttermilk. Had planned on using Greek yogurt. DW went to store twice this week. (How's that for social distancing?) Promised to buy yogurt each time, forgot twice ...
We will have it after shrimp and bok choy stir-fry for dessert.

that is some BEEE-YOOO-T-FULL CORN!! How do you keep the worms out of it?
I have no idea. None last year, none this year. I do not use pesticides on it. I guess sometimes you just get luck.
