Beginner Gardening: Recommend a variety of sweet corn? Where to buy?, 1 by Farmerdill

Shoe Seneca Chief is very similar to Kandy Korn, but perhaps not quite as sweet. First hybrid I ever grew was Bantam Evergreen/Aristagold which I really liked at the time but which has dissappeared from the market. In those days few people liked white corn as all that was available was Stowell's Evergreen and Country Gentleman, The introduction of Silver Queen changed all that. I still grew yellows through the 60's an 70's, Kandy Korn, Seneca Chief, Iochief, Sunglo, Golden Queen and a couple of other Seneca hybrids from the old Robson Seed company whose names I have forgotten.

Excel, I am not organic, so I use Carbaryl for corn ear worms. Try to time it just as the silks begin to turn, so I only have to spray once. Sometimes have problems with stalk borers, so sometimes have to spray just as tasseling begins.

Corn does not grow very tall here, 6 ft at the most. Probably why I seldom if ever have any blowover.
