Apparently, you can:

Near the end it states that you can leave it in the husk as well as not blanching it.

They can take up an awful lot of space though, so hope you have a big freezer.

I tend to remove the husks and tassels before wrapping them in clingfilm and freezing, although I have let the husks on previously.  Can't remember them coming to any harm.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I've just (well yesterday) blanched and froze the last of ours, small - 4 mins, medium - 6 mins, and biggies - 8 mins.
