Default Corn - when to harvest?

Got too much? soup kitchen, food bank, neighbors?


I used to grow extra stuff for neighbors. Then, I moved to a new
neighborhood. I'm surrounded by old Italian ladies. Last year, I tried
giving away extra basil, escarole, tomatoes, garlic, onions, eggplant, etc.
Most of these ladies said stuff like "Escarole? Whattya do with it? I never
had it". WTF? :-) Maybe I should've grown cardoons.
