Favorite Sweet Corn

[Crowderfarms]

I was curious as to what variety of Sweet Corn Yall like to plant? I still favor Hickory Cane, Silver Queen and Golden Queen and Merit. Of Course I dont plant them all together in the same garden. Anyone like Peaches and Cream?

I guesse. Yellow with some white. Advertised as sweet. The Candy is really my favorite. Smaller kernal, and alot sweeter.

For a white corn we like Silver King ( no relatoin to silver queen but much better eating ) for bicolor corn we like Jackpot and Providence.

J.T., Country Gentleman is a shoe peg variety, a field corn type rather than a sweet corn. Very large ears. Good in soup or creamed. And it is white as you said.

Should be easy to find. Check your local Farm Store, or Co-op, or do a web search and find a mail order seed company. If you still strike out, PM me I'll fix you up.

Silver Queen-but I like any kind of sweet corn. Give me some butter, salt and pepper and I'm good to go. Love it on the cob but it's great fried too.

 

[Francois]

Tender Treat is a favorite in my neck of the woods.

 

[Bez!]

Whatever breed of corn someone cooks up for me. Especially when it comes with a rare steak, some fresh bread and lots of butter.

We plant a crop of Sugary Enhanced corn every year. It's the strain between the normal sweet corn and the super sweet corn. Much sweeter than the normal sweet corn and more tender than the super sweet. We love it. I have about 4 ears a night, every night when the crop comes in. :nod:

We have tried a few different varieties and they all pretty much taste about the same. But if we have to pick one or two our favorites are "Ambrosia" and "Delectable". Both are bi-color. "Delectable" can be found on http://www.johnnyseeds.com and the "Ambrosia" can be found on http://www.parkseeds.com.
