Beginner Gardening: Delectable Sweet Corn, 1 by Ozark

I want to thank the person here who recommended Delectable Sweet Corn to me this spring. Based on that recommendation, I ordered a pack of seeds from Johnny's Selected Seeds, and we'll be harvesting and freezing corn tomorrow - 78 days after planting.

This variety has been real good thru the season. Germination was about 100% even though my seeds weren't treated with a fungicide. The cornstalks aren't too big, but they're real productive with two big ears on most stalks. I've got three 25-foot rows with plants 14" apart, so that's going to be a bunch of corn.

I picked one ear just now to see if it's ready, and it is. My hands got sticky with sugar just handling this one ear, and I tasted a raw kernel and it's real sweet. The picture doesn't do this corn justice - it's a good-looking bicolor with about an equal number of white and yellow kernels.
