And you remember how delicious corn tastes when you pick it five minutes before you cook it?"He thought about how delicious corn tastes.
"I guess the side yard isn't the front yard," he said. "Okay. You can grow corn in the side yard.""And I'll plant a hedge out front so people can't see the corn as they drive by.""That's even better."So I began to plan a hedge. We had many children in our Virginia...
