Yep, me too. Done it that way for 25 years and never disappointed. We put the pretty ears up on the cob and cut off the ugly ones. ;)

I, too, found out how pretty Cosmos can be. I had never heard of them before I got some seed packets in the spring. They are very easy to grow and have a long bloom time. The bees and butterflies seem to like them. Next spring, I'm gonna seed even more.

I have heard some use cornmeal for ants. I don't know about fire ants, though. I would just sprinkle it on top and not disturb them. If you disturb them, they go into attack mode and are not interested in eating or carrying it back to the queen.

That is absolutely beautiful! It must be a tropical plant. I hope someone does know the name. Sorry, I can't help.

Well, it's over, my garden that is. Today we took down all the cages, stakes, and felt covering. My DH ran the bushhog through and cut everything down. I started throwing old veggies at my DS. He grabbed his old aluminum t-ball bat and wanted me to pitch to him. He's 17 now but still has a...
