Uh oh. Our season is very short here in MN, even shorter due to the cool, wet spring.

I’ve been gardening for 20 years but my expertise is in perennial flowers.

Thanks for the recommendations of short season varieties of corn. I will try those next year.

We had it night before last.

Silver Queen is a favorite variety around here.(Mobile)

it was actually on sale at the store this weekend.
i guess it’s eat it while we can still afford it time.

"I’m growing a variety of corn called ‘Kandy Korn’ this year. Anyone else had any luck with this type?"

Yep. That's one of my best sellers at Jung's. My 'Norwegian Bachelor Farmer' boyfriends swear by it. :)

My cat will do that if I roll a rat in melted butter and hold it for her, LOL! (Very, very CUTE!)

But I agree with the other posters. You have an even shorter growing season than I do, so you do need to go with a quicker producer.

But, you never know! We might have a nice, long, warm Fall before we get another 100” of snow dumped on our heads as we did last year! :)

Wow. When that ear costs $10, that cat will go through the withdraws. ;’)
