I made some mild tea by adding some freshly harvested, unexposed corn silk to 2 cups of water and left overnight in the fridge. I drank half a cup at room temperature throughout the day. It also acts as a diuretic, so I chose a day to remain at home.

But mine are only 18 inches tall or so. Not sure if it's something I've done or just the weather here in Ontario, Canada. I guess I'll figure it out as I go but yours look lovely to me!!Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-36356075559187215882014-07-17T03:17:10.264-07:002014-07-17T03:17:10.264-07:00Very interesting.

When the pollen started ripening, the aroma was overpowering, in a good way. Not so good if you have allergies though.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-6034712055598832382014-07-16T10:35:31.029-07:002014-07-16T10:35:31.029-07:00Cool!Cool!Eight Gate Farm NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877942009419912353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-3681634556215420882014-07-16T03:23:58.042-07:002014-07-16T03:23:58.042-07:00I've seen that on other other person's blo...I've seen that on other other person's blog years ago.

I love quirks of nature like this...they are just fascinating.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-42827117875196676982014-07-15T18:12:46.023-07:002014-07-15T18:12:46.023-07:00Oh weird, I've never seen this before.

The ears will be much smaller than usual. :(Thomas Generaziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536611327617373090noreply@blogger.com
