I love sweet corn.

Seems a little early for corn

[Trouthunter]

Not for sweet corn. It's planted much earlier than regular corn.

Best corn i have had was from the farmers markets in Vermont. Most of the corn we'd get was white up there. What kind of corn is this?

[Cubera]

Wife just got back from Florida with some white corn.

I used to grow sweet corn back in Palacios. There was a guy on 2Cool went by meadowlark I believe raised it then also several of us did. I always grew G90 and Peaches and Cream. I had four varieties one year I can't recall the names. I had a good run the last couple of years cold or too cool weather stunted mine and topped off with torrential rains I lost about half of it then we moved here and I quit gardens. Sold my Kubota small tractor and tiller and just buy produce and get some from neighbors up here. If I knew the right people here I could get it straight from the fields there's a tomato farm in Pearsall too I have met the guy just haven't gone to his farm. He raises them on contracts for suppliers. Vine ripened not hot house stuff. A few garden pics from the old days. 2018 was the year. I planted a row of black eyes next to the corn one year. Had lots of them to shell and give away.

Awesome garden Waldo
I used to grow G-90, but got tired of fighting the coons for it

Was at Walmart this morning and they had sweet corn for .33 Cents
Can't compete with that

Will have a couple of ears for lunch
Cut ends off, Microwave 3 mins, butter and salt, none better
I love sweet corn season

On my way to the fish camp near Seadrift last week, I noticed a lot of corn planted this year. Some soybeans and what I assume is cotton. A little sorghum/maze (or whatever it is called), but lots and lots of corn.

Is that for people food, animal food or ethanol?

[Reality Czech]

Field corn
Mostly animal feed
Milo is the grain sorghum mostly grown in this area
Mines looking gooood
Praying for no hail

[LouReed]

Noticed it is planted really tight - one plant to the next. Figured it was not for humans but who knows the fandangled hybrids they have now.

Sweet corn is tha bomb! We have a 200 acre farm field outside Needville owned by my wife’s family that cousins lease and farm for us. Every other year it’s planted in corn and they plant a couple rows of sweet right on the edge of the field next to my SIL’s house. I’m talkin a bunch of corn. We pick what we want by hand and the rest goes to the combine. The deer love it too. They seem to hit the sweet much harder than the field corn. But then we kill and eat them too so….

Just had an ear I bought this morning

Microwaved 3.5 mins and the shucks and silk fall right off

Straight yellow sweet corn, had a nice popcorn like flavor

Wish I'd have bought more

[mstrelectricman]

Wow. I haven’t seen those holders in a long time. Reminds me of my Grandmother.

[Reality Czech]

They are very old
I have newer ones, but the old ones with metal skewers work better

I can eat fresh fully ripe corn like that right off the cob raw. Love it. To me, the less you cook corn like that the better.
