Corn

Whoever makes two ears of corn,
or two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before,
deserves better of mankind,
and does more essential service to his country than the whole race of politicians put together.

Jonathan Swift 1667-1745

All sweet corn kernels contain glucose, but some are bred to stay sweet longer after picking than others. However, for home gardeners who will pick and eat the same day, flavour and ease of culture should be the most important characteristics when choosing a variety.

Bodacious

Bodacious

Bodacious ears are large at 20cm (8") and very sweet and tender. The husk is an attractive dark-green colour and kernels are yellow. This variety is highly recommended for premium corn-on-the-cob or freezing.

Brocade

Brocade

Slightly later to mature than Luscious, Brocade is a taller plant (2m, 80") with higher ear height. This makes such a difference when picking long rows in the field, as does the ease with which the cobs snap off the plant! The big yellow and white kernels are rich tasting and hold their sweetness for a long time in the refrigerator.

Serendipity

Serendipity

Serendipity is a new bicolour with the very best characteristics of the super sweets: it is slow to get starchy after it is picked and it has the tender sweet kernels of the super sweet (sh2) types. Kernels run in 16-18 rows, on a slender 20cm (8") long cob, with a mid-green husk colour. The tender kernels probably cannot handle machine harvest so this variety can only be hand picked, for great taste at the roadside stand or your garden. A very tall plant, it holds the cobs up for easy picking.

Three Sisters Collection

Three Sisters Collection

Considered gifts to mankind by tribes of the First Nations, corn, beans, and squash have been grown together for centuries. Although the grouping is the subject of several legends, it's also an early and sophisticated variation on sustainable agriculture. The seeds of each type of vegetable, grown in single varieties, are easy to harvest and save from year to year. Corn provides a growing support for the beans, and squashes are grown between the rows. All three types of plant are heavy feeders, so grow this ancient combination in rich, well-drianed soil and add a small handful of complete organic fertilizer beneath each planting site. This collection contains enough seeds of Calico Popcorn, Scarlet Runner Beans, and Acorn Squash to densely plant 50 square feet.
