Expect extreme heat as Environment Canada predicts hotter an

I keep looking out my back patio door at 70 acres of corn.
Iy is up about 14" high. I don't know what it is growing on. There has not been one rain since it was planted.
About the only moisture I see is a late night fog coming up the field from Cataraqui Creek.
Anybody got a recipe for pickling baby corn?

We Mennonites will pickle anything including corn..............

12 ea Ears corn 1 c Sugar
1/2 ea Head cabbage 1 c Vinegar
4 ea Peppers, red or green 1 c Water
1 bn Celery 1 1/2 tb Dry mustard
1 1/2 tb Salt

Cook corn on the cob until tender. Cut off. Chop cabbage, celery,
peppers into small pieces and cook until tender
but not soft. Drain. Mix vegetables together and add sugar, salt,
vinegar, and mustard. Bring to a boil and put in jars. Seal.

I fear my cobs of corn will be about 3 to 4 inches in length.

You are right about the Mennonites pickling anything. I have two of their cookbooks plus three Amish cookbooks.
You guys are even more thrifty than the Quakers my family came from- and we are cheap!!

Reminds me of when my grandchildren were small. I used a recipe from the Ohio clans for making honey.
It called for a bit of rosewater.
You couldn't tell the difference in my phoney honey and the bees best effort.

2012: Tenth Hottest Year So Far
Randall Hoven

Despite recent headlines claiming "Hottest year on record" and "Feeling the heat: First half of 2012 is the warmest on record," this year is only the 10th hottest on record.

As I noted a few days ago, those headlines referred only to the contiguous US, which is about 1.5% of our planet's surface. Brazil is bigger. When I wrote, June's global temperature was not yet available. But for the first five months, Jan-May, 2012 was the 10th hottest so far.

Since I wrote that, NASA/GISS has updated its global temperature record through June, so we now have global temperatures for the first six months of 2012. It is not the hottest on record; it is the 10th hottest on record.

In fact, every single month of 1998 was warmer than that same month in 2012 so far. Years warmer than 2012, January through June average, were 1998, 2002-2007, and 2009-2010.

Statistically, the trend since 2001 has been cooling. There has been no statistically significant warming since 1995. (Based on linear regression tests using the first 6-month average of each year, 95% confidence level.)

In short, the data we have so far for 2012 is consistent with what I wrote this May.

"The trend over the last nine years (since 2002) is one of cooling. There has been no statistically significant (at 95% confidence level) warming in 14 years (since 1997)."

In fact, based on first-halves of years instead of whole years, we've been cooling for the last 11 years and not warming for the last 17. That is, the latest data from 2012 strengthen the suggestion that global warming has stopped, or is at least on hiatus. For all we know, we're in for global cooling.

(Reminder: this data is available to you here. This is NASA's data. NASA is where James Hansen works. Feel free to check it yourself; don't just take my word for it.)

I love it when they use the terms "hottest on record". The earth is how old and these records are for how many years?

Well at least somebody is happy about the rising temperatures:

We were lashed by such rain overnight and this morning that going next door to deal with the neighbour's dog had me looking like I showered in my cloths within 20 seconds in crashing thunder at 10 in the morning. The river is about to breach the banks. I see Edmonton had underpasses under water again.

Everyone is muttering the "d" word here. We had a little rain last night, the first in about 10 days (the way things have been going here for about two months) and the ground drank it all up and it still looks dry. If only we could get southern Ontario and central Alberta together to even things out with regard to rainfall...

The neighbours with the dog I'm tending to were running out of time getting away and I said I'd cut their grass. It's now past ankle deep and the ground is completely saturated. It's like walking on a wet sponge. There is simply no opportunity to get to it. They may be back on the weekend before it ever gets done at this rate.

No point in cutting it wet because it just tear it and rips roots from the ground. You end up having to reseed because you were impatient. Best wait it out.

Oh yes. No way do I destroy the yard (or mine) and clog the mower to kingdom come. I ran an errand this morning and the rain was so loud on the soft top I couldn't hear Rutherford on the radio.
