I can recommend that book very highly, as well as the author’s other book “Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties”.
You may want to read Resilient Gardening before choosing your corn varieties for next year. She goes into a lot of detail about the differences between varieties and which is better for what. Not just “flint vs. dent”, but everything! Even which colors taste better cooked in certain ways!
Thanks for the suggestions.
I’ll probably get the really short season flint anyways. If it’s not ‘edible’ for what I want I can crack it and feed it to my chickens :P
I have her book on breeding vegetable varieties. Got it in the same order with my Seed to Seed book.
I’m just waiting for her to have her new seeds available on her website. The one that makes pancake flavored corn meal/flour sounds delightful. The white flint I am going to order supposedly makes really great arepas. I tend to order seeds hungry and that’s not always a great thing LOL.
