If you leave a comment, Jim will visit your blog and leave a comment.I've always known that because of San Diego's Mediterranean climate, virtually anything will grow here if one gave it enough water to meet its needs and, in some cases, protected it from the extreme mid-day sun and the hot, dry Santa Ana winds.

And I've seen just about everything growing here, from citrus fruits to bananas to strawberries.

However, while I was out showing properties today, I ran across something that I wasn't quite sure what it was because I've never seen it in its raw form.

Raw corn

I know. I'm a sheltered individual. But the corn I always see looks like this:

Corn on the cob

All I have to do is butter it and eat it since my marketing guru cooks it. I had no idea that it has a ponytail and that one has to give it a haircut before cooking and eating it. Sheesh.

Jim, it is even better when you pick it cut it's hair, shuck it and then cook it!  It is good any way, but really fresh is really good!

The corn (on the cob not the toes) look deliciously perfect.

Okay Jim, I am sure I am laughing more at you than you did at the thought of my Grandmother running loose in the halls of her nursing home with a motorized wheelchair for the first time.  I have had corn cob dolls, corn husk dolls and I LOVE to eat fresh corn.  It is so good if you pull back the husks and remove the "pony tail" and add a little butter and salt and then replace the green husks and slow roast on a low temp grill.  NOTHING better.  And fresh cut off the cob fried corn is so yummy.  My husband's boys live in La Mesa and they were freaked out the first time they saw fresh corn at my house here in GA too.

Hi Jim, So funny and when I first saw that picture, I thought it was a horse leaving a plant like setting.  Thanks for the comment on my blog...I have had pneumonia and am still recovering...I get sooooo tired and have to rest a lot.   I can't wait until I get my energy back.

Ah!  I'm as cornny as Kansas in August, and having grown up there, I never saw corn looking like that.

Jim, not to worry!  I didn't realize peanuts grow on tubers in the ground similar to potatoes for the longest time.  Although, I think I should have known as in German they are called "Erdnuss" or "earth nut". Enjoy the corn... it's in season now!

Now your readers know what your marketing guru has had to put up with for 15 years -- LOL.

Hey, Lou - And without ActiveRain, I would never have thought about those discoveries any further than the moment. Now I take a picture and blog about them - LOL.

Hey, Andrea - I eat fresh veggies. It's just that all the hard work - picking, plucking, porking, plumbing, etc. - is always done before I buy them. We have lots of great farmers' markets here.

Hey, Angelia - I love corn on the cob, as well as Zoey the Cool Cat's big feet - LOL.

Hey, Tony and Darcy - We buy most of our corn at the farmers' markets here, but I don't like to do the work. Peas should be out of the pod. Corn should be out of the husk. Watermelon should already be sliced. Etc.

Hey, Xinh - I hadn't thought about the other type of corn. Now I'm not very hungry. L

Hey, Tammy - I'm going to have to ask my marketing guru about corn roasted in the husk. He was laughing at me when I asked him what the pony tail thing was.

Hey, Jane - Hope you get back up and running soon. My mom had pneumonia recently, too. She lives up in San Bernardino County. Of course, when one is as old as my mom is, pneumonia causes one to worry significantly.

Hey, Patricia - This might be the San Diego variety - LOL.

Hey, Silvia - We seem to be lucky here because we can always find fresh corn at the farmers' markets which occur year-round.
