When something has been around for long enough, urban legends tend to develop around it.
That’s simply how thing work. We humans need to feel that the world around us is subject to rational rules, that we are not surrounded by absolute chaos. We need to feel that we can control our environment and influence our lives - many studies show that it this is a need that makes us safer and happier people, even if in practice this is not entirely true.

It is Hot , hot, hot ! All crops standing, stretching, climbing ... in the garden, are faced with extreme conditions for a while now.
Once we harvest them and cut them from their "feeding tube" -the earth, they immediately begin to suffer and wither.

Quickly quick, before it's over.... The three American sisters.
The three sisters have been here since the beginning of the world, say Native Americans, and were given as a gift by the Gods to the humans in order to protect them.
The Iroquois tribe tells about the lady of the sky, that lived at the top of the sky, that looked down through a hole in the sky at the vast sea beneath.

CORN
Corn is the largest of all the grains and is also the most widely grown crop in the world! Corn is grown even more than wheat and rice, but today, most corn is genetically modified (heaven forbid...).
Corn is an American crop, originating from southern Mexico.

Alittle bit more about Corn even thgh alot more could be written...
The Hebrew name of corn, Tiras, is from Tiras, the son of Noah's son Yefet. In Genesis 10, 2 "בְּנֵי יֶפֶת--גֹּמֶר וּמָגוֹג, וּמָדַי וְיָוָן וְתֻבָל; וּמֶשֶׁךְ, וְתִירָס.

A Israeli story - a boy called Ofir steps out to the street all excited, singing and drumming on a pot: "bim bam bom, hot corn". This happy boy gets more kids excited, and they are happy too, so six noisy kids are walking, rejoicing in a row and playfully singing this song....
Most kids like corn. The difference between fresh organic corn and store-bought-conventional-corn is huge. And the demand, like Ofir's, is very understandable from a child that eats organic vegetables.
Hi,
I'm sorry this translation is so late. My translator forgot to screw her head on this morning. Or yesterday. Actually, in the last week or so.
A few weeks ago our corn was not filled with kernals and I even got some questions about it. I don't know why I haven't written about it before, sorry.
Corn is a grass from the grain family, and looks almost like a huge weed or wild grass. However, it's flower column is larger and different from other plants in its family. From within its leaves grows the female flower, our corn to be.
Hi,
Last week the corn surprised me and was added to the boxes - what fun. Although I always try to give you an expectation list and to be as close to it as possible, this time I was not disappointed at all when I had to add a note in the boxes about the change. Fresh and tasty corn is always welcome. With corn, there is no choice; it must be picked at the right time. It's sweetness is seeked and enjoyed not only by us, but by a variety of other creatures!
There's nothing like eating each thing at the right time.

Hi,
What fun to write to you after working in the garden.
Slowly slowly almost all of the garden is summer crops. The last of the winter crops are still in our boxes and in the garden patches they are vacating we are now planting and sowing summer crops - different species of lettuce, an assortment of Cucurbitaceae, tomato, eggplant, beans ....
Today while weeding a new bean patch, I thought of the legumes (which include beans) and how they enrich the soil naturally (maybe I'll continue with this idea next week).
