That’s looking really nice. Meanwhile, we’re lucky to have corn “ankle high by the Fourth of July”.

With the new greenhouse, next year I’ll try starting some for transplanting, and see what happens.

We use three varieties, all relatively early, and open pollinated: Painted Hill; Golden Cross Bantam; Mandan Sweet (AKA Mandan Red Flour). The two Indian types are also cold tolerant. While I still had seed from JDB, I also planted Serendipity.

Starting my corn in the greenhouse gives me a leg up on my neighbors plus I get 100% stand. Perfection is a 70 day super sweet hybrid from Harris Seed.
