| Grew it last year and it was a unique color. Tones of green, browns etc. Very pretty for decoration.
Unfortunatly in Aug last year we had downpour after downpour and the corn stayed wet for then entire month and started to mold on the ear. The few that didn't mold were pretty for decoration, but I didn't have enough to actually try to eat it.
I am not growing this again this year, only because I don't know if I would find green masa appealing. Am trying Hopi Blue this year, hopefully the weather will be more accomoidating. |
