| Corn stalks are relatively short. Corn is great tasting, sweet, tender. Worth the try for some really early open-pollinated corn. The only drawbacks: this kind of corn needs to go right from the garden into the pot! Did not keep even overnight for me - the kernals turned starchy. The other thing is that the corn got a lot of smut. I read early corn is more subject to smut and we did get a lot of rain here in southern PA in 2005, so maybe that was also a contributing factor. Smut is a highly prized sort of mushroom in Mexican cuisine, but I never tried it. |

| A short season corn for areas with cold Springs and early frosts. Flavor is good - if the alternative is no corn in August, and reliability is its winning quality. |
