| This has been a difficult year to grow corn in the Northwest with a very cold wet spring. Sugar Dots came through for me again with an incredible germination rate. It also grows in cool weather a definite plus for us cold weather gardeners. The seed has been harder and harder to find, but Territorial still carries it. |

| This variety did good for me. I grew three varieties this year, Sugar Dots, Peaches&Cream(main crop), and GottaHaveIt. First I did crowd this corn at 2 per square foot, however I crowded Peaches&Cream at 4 per square foot and it simply outperformed Sugar Dots in vigor, multiple ears, and taste by a wide margin. I did get reliable second ears, notably smaller but of good quality, in fact probably better than the main crop. All in all this was very satisfactory corn, but it really did pale when up against Peaches&Cream, especially for limited space grpwers. This corn topped out around 6 1/2 feet,
Germination rate was about 75% with fresh seed. |

| A big success in my 2006 garden. Sugar Dots withstood a windstorm that blew down all my other corn varieties (even plants that were much shorter than the Sugar Dots). Definitely a winner! |

| I have been planting this variety for 4 years, and had great success every season (though I don't always get two full-sized ears per stalk). Some years Sugar Dots is just good corn, and some years it is SUPERLATIVE (it must depend on the weather). Definitely worth growning. Seed is sometimes hard to find; but it's stocked by some WalMarts. No isolation required. |
