By coincidence, just this afternoon I picked my Sugar Pearl corn at 72 days. I'm helping my wife blanch and freeze it, and we boiled a few ears to sample fresh on the cob. Wow - that's good corn! Of course it helps that it was growing in the garden up until 15 minutes before I ate it.

In six days I'll be picking three long rows of Delectable, and there's lots of big ears on it. Then in August I have some rows of Kandy Korn that'll be ready.

Here's the Sugar Pearl - it's a lot whiter than it looks in this photo.
