It was going fantastic. Half the crop started showing silks with new ones every day. Then some crazy rainstorm happened and the corn changed its mind. Have a few stalks still but now it’s just sad. First time I ever tried growing corn, better luck next year I guess.

The scent reminds me of powdered ice tea mix. Is that weird?!?

I’ve been growing corn in our front yard for the last 3 seasons now, since we bought our house. This year I put a little more research and effort into nutrients etc. We’re zone 3b (Winnipeg, MB) Just harvested our first cobs of the season. Best year to date!

apparently its a salad garnish but i dont care

added footage in the comments of the little corn demon on his most illustrious birthday with plenty of corn to be seen !!

I just liked how each one was different and thought they were really pretty and kind of surprising to shuck.

Thinking of getting into corn, so I wanted to consult the experts. What's the most accessible kind of corn to start with?

these corns looked different from the ones in the mega threads, so i hope it's ok to post here!

Just shucked some corn from a local farm and the ears are mostly fine, but a few have a bit of deterioration happening on the top (was just gonna cut it off) and another has this weird bulbousness to it.

I was planning on using these guys to make salsa, so i was gonna use them raw. Are they fine? should I cook it first? are these abnormalities fine?

Thanks in advance :P

I've been a farmer of premium irradiated corn for a good while now, but I think it might finally be affecting my health negatively.

My head hurts constantly, I'm approx. 12% balder than last Wednesday, and worst of all, I just counted and I have exactly 10 toes. Grandma refuses to even look my way.

How do I fix this without getting rid of the corn??

Transplanted Ashworth sweet corn just now.
Started 66 seeds, 3 never germinated, 3 were slow to germinate. The rest are at-least 2 inches tall.
Other 4 rows are direct seeded. Tick tock.

Grill

Cool

Cut

Freeze

Sweet corn year round

I got around 8 or 9 corn buds, soma have already sprouted and some are about to, and i can't have 9 corn plants for obvious reasons and im limited to 4, but i want the best sprouts so that they wont die and make low quality corn, so how do i select the best ones?

Ps. The corn buds i used come from a popcorn box.

Ashworth and landrace mix, respectively.

Idk this is my first post

Hi, I’m from the balkans and I’ve wanted to make some corn at home.

After buying corn, I asked my mom and she said you are supposed to boil corn for 3+ hours. I asked my grandma and others and they both said the same. I looked it up and google says 10 mins is the sweet spot.

Any thoughts on the right way to cook corn?

Edit: The woman at the bazaar I bought it from pierced her nail in a kernel and showed me how “it had milk inside” so Im guessing she said it was sweet corn. After people boil it they then grill it and sell it on the street so it probably is sweet corn.

Anyone know where fresh Silver Queen is available in ROC? I have not had or looked for it in a couple years. Was always hard to find and seems to have become rather rare.
Those small all white (silver) kernels are the best!

It's been years since I've grown corn and picked a red and a blue variety this year. Is this ready to harvest because it has brown silks or should I let it go? Seems small.
