Went out to the beds last evening and checked the sweetcorn and this is what I found

The only problem is how long can you live off it for?
There's TONS of the stuff, more than I thought, can you freeze it, how do I store it without it going off/rotten

You can freeze it, Capn Bird's Eye does.

You could also let it ripen all the way, then grind it into flour Native American stylee and make cornbread muffins.

Sweetcorn like that is under-ripe. If you leave it ripen all the way it goes hard and then you can grind it up. According to my maize-farmer ex colleague.

Might find it rots in all this damp tho - in America, it tends to be dry later into the autumn.

Mrs Grips got some nice gourds and decorative pumpkins to put on our steps. She assured me they'd dry out and last for years. Of course, in Cardiff they went mouldy in less than a week ๐Ÿ™‚
