Corn have Ears?

The neighbors were kind enough to let us reap what the have sown. we went sweet corn picking! jacob loved it but poor jessica was too short and quickly tired of the tall stalks.

at leat she had fun chucking it! it took her so long to do one that she only got a total of three done while we were doing this. (out of 106)
Jacob was much faster at it and quickly found that his favorite part was the silk. he was also very interested to learn all of the parts of the the corn. the stalk, tassell, leaves, ears, silk, kernell, and cob. he thought it was funny they were called ears and i was waiting for the question "can they hear?" but it never came. he must be smarter than to think that corn can hear. :)

i have lots of organic sweet corn in the freezer now! yay!
