Harvesting Green Corn

This weekend I dug four of my Lenape white flour corn plants and re-planted them at a Green Corn Festival.  The plants did very well and I am pictured harvesting one of the ears in the green or milk stage (The husks are green and the starchy kernels have a high water content.)  I made two types of green corn bread:  that which is prepared in the green leaf and also a flat bread prepared on a rock.
