Corn Moon

The full moon of September was known as the Corn Moon by some Native American cultures because it arrives at harvest time for those essential crops. It will be interesting to see if the farmer who manages the cornfield behind our house subscribes to this schedule. Because it is corn destined for animal feed, Jeanine says it will not be harvested for quite some time. There is no doubting a woman from Lebanon, Indiana in matters related to corn. Apparently the corn kernels need to dry on the cob. I plan to obey the moon and will harvest a cob tomorrow and see what it tastes like.
