    I feel there's a corn meme, with you and Gary Photoshop'd, in your near future.

    Well, he's basically masturbating his corn now, so it's deserved.

    I'm simply amazed at the breadth of knowledge on this board. You can ask ANYTHING and have it answered. :D

    I asked the place where I bought the seeds, they wanted a picture. Asked a couple of local produce places, they had no idea.
    Come here and find the answer :)

    The problem is the demand-driven supply of mostly only super-sweet variety white corn. It may be (super)sweet , but it hardly tastes like corn. I'm a low sugar yellow sweetcorn fan, and there is only one producer at the farmer's market (and his line is always the longest -- 5/$2)
    4 (5?) years of Ag school and Garth answers all problems with the same solution: Glyphosate. :D

    Try peaches and cream. It’s a good balance of the sweeter and “normal” sweetness.

    I've been wanting to ask this question since we now have a corn thread. My old neighbor (passed away) used to farm and grow incredibly delicious corn in his backyard. He used to get the seed from another farmer that he used to help plow on the side. This corn was more white than yellow and the kernels were relatively shallow....he used to tell my wife every season with the few ears he'd share, not a second over 4 minutes in boiling water. It was so damn tender and sweet that we could never find this quality of corn anywhere. He said it was a bit on the pricey side.......any of you corn experts have any idea what type it could have been??? I'd love to identify and grow some.

    I hate that yellow corn with the big old deep kernels, I dunno, never really loved corn til I had my neighbors variety....any help id'ing it would be great!

    Well I'm not sure if I'll ever grow corn again. Quite the let down. I had no idea that I would only get 2 ears per plant.
    7 plants over and done with. However it was delicious. I ate a few cobs raw.

    Oh sweet Jesus, that might be it!!! Thanks dude! Would ya know firsthand if the kernels on that variety are shallow or long???

    This corn was so tender, you could literally eat it raw!

    I don't recall, did you mention the variety you planted?
