On the right is an early bicolor cultivar named Lucious. Small stalks and it shoots so low that the Blue Jays can stand on the ground and eat it. On the left is Silver Queen for comparison.
Jay Bird Corn
My that is just like my tirple play early cultivar, the bunnies could eat it from the ground! So why do you have them palnted together, aren't thye gonna cross?
It has great flavor, is early, but lacks the vigor and productivity that I am used to. It growing habits make it attractive to a wide array of varmints other than Jay birds. I will use my current seed stock, but will not pursue it further.

Man. look at the size of those ears! I guess if they don't cross, a row here and there would make a good trap crop, I mean, keep them away from the good stuff...
gee, where did you get your seeds?
Tamara, Not in a normal year, although I would not mind if they did. Rather than stagger plantings, I put in an early, a midseason, and a late corn in the same patch at the same time. That usually gives me about a bout 30 days of fresh corn. The season is so messed up this year, that everything is late, but the late is closing up on the early. Non the less this will be gone before the Silver Queen is ready.
OK, was just confused, because both have tassels up... Wish I had enough planting time in my schedule to do it that way :-)
