HOW TO PLANT POTATOES AND FREEZER CORN

Have you heard the old saying you are never to old to learn something new? While talking with the lady where we get our garden seed at she was telling us about a man who grew the most potatoes around in the area. So we ask her what did he do different. She said when he cut up his potatoes for seeds that he cut them across and not long ways. Well me I cut them ever how I can to get a eye. So I am going to try this and just see what happens with some red potato seed I got from them. I also read you put the eyes up then some say put the eyes down. Oh well I guess I will have to try both ways in that to. Some say use old potato seed then others say not to so this year we put out a mixture of old seed and new seed. I do know that you can make a spray for all those poor old potato bugs. Use some water with hot sauce and spray the potatoes or some hot pepper in with water to make a spray.
We got out corn seed this year that we had so much luck with last year and it is called Amrosia. I put some in the freezer cut off and on the cob. I always dread putting corn away on the cob as it always has the cob taste. Let me tell you this corn was just like going out in the garden and picking it. I just let my water get hot and put it in for 5 minutes after it came to a boil. I took it out and put it in ice water because it will continue cooking if you don't. I took and cut off my corn and put some water in a skillet and cooked it for 5 minutes.  About a 1/2 cup of water to a pan. Don't let it scorch on the bottom. I let it cool and put it in ziplock freezer bags only or any freezer bags as long as they are thick. I then put it in my freezer in the ref. until I had a brown bag full and then I put it in my deep freezer. Then I put it down in brown paper bags I had got from Walmart for my ice cream when I bring it home. I doubled bagged this, one up and one turned upside down then I turned the top down and taped or stapled it. Man it was so good. My husband could not believe it came out of the garden. I let them lay flat in the freezer and in the bags. I have read you can save your ceral bags and put your zip lock bags down in them and they will help with not letting the freezer taste get into your food or will help with keeping your meat from having freezer burn.
