Lots of pics and info.

One caveat though. She should have left the corn on the stalks until it was dry in order to save it for seed. When you pick it to eat as sweet corn it’s not fully mature as a seed just yet.

Thanks for the link. I’ll have to look into that corn.

I didn’t like the Golden bantam, but that may be because hubby let it grow longer than it should have.

I don’t usually plant until first of June, either, but we do have until Oct. 15 for growth to maturity.

The one I had best luck with was Sunglow - a good tasting early variety with 50 DTM. I would like to succession plant about 2 weeks apart, so that we don’t have so much to harvest at once.
