The harvest

After years of wishing and dreaming about growing my very own corn, this year we finally did it! and ate it! I grew up surrounded by corn fields in Cameroon where corn was a main source of food, which was then dried and used as corn meal. Corn season meant roasted corn from street vendors, juicy fresh ears of corn  from the backyard, and i mean HUGE maize, not the sweet corn have here. I must say they were not very easy to grow, actually nothing is easy to grow in Adelaide's weird climate and poor soil, compared to the rich volcanic stuff and mild tropical weather of Cameroon.... can you tell i'm a bit homesick!
