drought is rough! Been eatting silverqueen corn from my garden since June 27th. Sprouted indoors then transplanted. Live in fairfax va and thankful for the trees that fell on my house not doing too much damage.

Why'd you choose Silver Queen? What is it you like about that strain of corn? I'm all ears for other folks input on varieties and qualities.

Just askin' because I'm still trying to figure what I like best about sweet corn and the varieties that do best here - clay soils. Also, I'd like a long term seed selection process to keep the corn I like. Been messing with it on a small scale (<100 ears) with tassle and ear bags and all.
