(A side effect of HFCS?) This corn is such a real taste. It is fun to experiment with old strains now we have the space to do so. By the way it's not the biggest corn we have, more on it later! :)Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348495575211204989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802560046259042468.post-53885856863036499412016-08-20T06:00:50.937-04:002016-08-20T06:00:50.937-04:00They're huge!

So much better nutrition contained within compared to all the hybrids. (But that's just my opinion.) Sad to say, no corn growing (or regular sized tomatoes either) for this northern Minnesota gardener until we somehow, somewhere, some way get that huge hoop house constructed. Even if we were to get the summer heat needed (as we have this year!), our strong winds topple any corn I've ever planted out in the open. Good post, good information.

I just finished...I hope your back is doing better! I just finished reading about starting corn in pots. They said since corn roots do not move well, to start it in something that can be planted like peat pots. Starting it about a month before transplanting. It is something you might want to try. Ralph and I might try it too, so we can have early, early corn. I am glad you enjoyed this post. These old varieties have a lot t offer. Luther Hill is another variety you might want to look into.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348495575211204989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802560046259042468.post-7130488014126888362016-08-16T15:54:22.063-04:002016-08-16T15:54:22.063-04:00This post makes me want to try growing Texas Gourd...This post makes me want to try growing Texas Gourdseed corn. I've never heard of it, but it sounds wonderful! I have never ever had any luck growing corn. Sure hope next spring I can get a better garden started in early spring. My back problem almost kept me from growing anything this year, although, I finally did get the tomatoes and beans planted and a few other things. Enjoyed this post.
