Grew these last year and they grew great and tasted amazing. Grew some in ground and some in my raised bed next to the ones in ground and it all worked out great. Ordered again this year but expanded my grow area as this corn was so tasty.

Planting seeds on April 24, I was worried that the pollen would no longer work when the corn got to the silk/tasseling point due to the high heat here in central TX. Nevertheless, I carefully followed corn growing instructions, used 46-0-0 fertilizer as suggested, hand watered daily if need be, at least to see how the plants grew. Well we got corn after all, just starting to pick a few ears, and we should have started a week ago – it appears that corn matured 2 weeks earlier than quoted, at about 2 months. It’s possible this is due to both heat and full water availability rather than just hoping the weather would suffice. The sugars are starting to turn to starch already, but there are many full ears bulging with kernels. One stalk had both 2 ears and a third tiny ear on its sucker! I will need to use the silk browning as the best sign, not quoted dates, or 3 weeks from silk appearance, as the time to check on harvest-ability. Otherwise, we unfortunately had bad insect damage to the tops of the ears – either corn flea beetles or picnic beetles, with help from ants. Cutting off the bad tops worked fine, the rest of the ears were solid.
