Well, that’s a bit late for planting here for sure, and anyone here would give ma a big belly laugh if I did it.LOL
Are they supposed to be small baby ears?

Smallish ears. Which will be perfect for the kids, if it makes. I ordered several packets to plant early next spring (it’s tolerant of cool soils so I hope to get it in sometime in March down here) as an interim for the kids before the ‘real’ sweet corn gets ripe.
It’s got ‘Gaspe Flint’ in its family tree which accounts for the extreme earliness. Supposedly the kernels of Gaspe have the tassel already formed in there early or something. I pulled a research paper on it and haven’t had a chance to read it just yet. This is the variety of corn the Micmac tribe grew in Southern Atlantic Canada near the town of ‘Gaspe’. Gaspe supposedly is seed to dry corn in 60 days. The catch is it’s only about 2ft tall LOL with 4” cobs.
I’m looking for a US supplier for the Gaspe though. It sounds like the perfect ornamental I can grow in the front yard and will look like something ‘non food’ that I can toss into the chickens when it gets done.
