It is actually worth about $15 a dozen. Let me explain.
I spent a morning last fall plowing and cleaning off the garden.
Then I disked it and got it ready this spring.
Then I spent about $20 on sweet corn seed, and some was given to me.
Planted it.
Fertilized it
Tilled several times. Starting to get hot, so I sweated my behind off.
Had to put up the electric fencing to keep the coons out. That took several hours, and both sides were still up from last year.
Weed eated and sprayed under the electric fence.
Tilled some more.
Had to water it during a dry spell, drug out house, step ladder tp put the sprinkler on, got all muddy and hot doing this.
Coons got into the first batch. Dont know how they got across electric fence. Must be old smart ones.
Spent several hours putting out 3 types of traps.
Had to drive to the farm, since several of the traps were of the live type and I didn't want a coon to suffer in the heat while in a trap. (yes, I still feel sorry for the dad blamed things)
Killed three old female coons that had been nursing.
reset the traps, caught one young one and a possum.
Wind blew down sweet corn.
Corn sort of set back up.
Second batch got a little too mature and wifey didn't like it, wouldn't eat it.
Wind blew down corn the other way.
Third batch about ready, went to the farm to check on it, Japanese beetles had eaten the silks and tips off of all the ears. Thought about spraying, but really almost too late, said "F" it !!
I am going to the farmers market.
I think I will pay them $4 to $5 a dozen, the going price, then give em a $20 tip, and will still be cheaper than raising my own!!!!!!!!!!!
