Well folks, regarding my sweet corn, I'm checking back in at the end of the season... This is an update from my thread: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1148068/
I ended up only able to grow the sweet corn, Bodacious, this summer. Michigan got tons of rain and cool temps this past spring and even the "real" farmers had to put their crops in late. As for me, I had too much going on to be able to grow more than one variety this summer.
I just went to the garden and picked a couple ears of Bodacious, came inside, and cooked it. I must say that I'm pretty disappointed in it. It's not sweet AT ALL; very much like canned corn. Not bad, but not the outstanding sweet yellow/white corn that I've purchased from a road-side vegetable stand right down the road. I've decided, I won't grow Bodacious again. ...While I was waiting for MY corn to mature, I was able to freeze 23 quarts of the yellow/white sweet corn I mentioned above. There is simply NO comparison between the two. The yellow/white I bought is outstanding!! ...Gotta find out what variety the yellow/white corn is...
Terri_emory, are you still out there? How did Bodacious do for you, and what did you think of it??? Can't wait to hear...
