Will you have to cover up those fruit trees when it gets cold again? Have you ever tried to use dent corn for popcorn?

Won’t have to cover the up the fruit trees, they were bare root and I bought for 3 zones colder for maximum cold tolerance.

I have not tried to pop dent corn. I’m wondering how masa harina made from flint corn would make tortillas. I guess I need to find a ‘corn how to’ book on amazon or something.

I’ve added this book to my amazon wishlist:

Maybe Santa will bring me a copy!

And I finally found answer. Either dent or flint corn will work for tortillas:
