What is your favorite sweet corn?

[retiredwith4acres]

I am working on my "plan" for next year as I peruse my seed catalogs. I am wondering if you have a favorite sweet corn that is not a GMO plant? We didn't get any this year because the varmints got them first so am working on a plan of attack also. One of my families favorite veggie is corn so want some good stuff!

I love corn, but I can't grow it! If I get a chance to buy home grown corn, Trucker's Favorite is a good one. It's white and makes the BEST fried corn ever!

Illini super sweet Providence is alright, comes up much better but ISS for flavor.

One that I've had the last couple of years that is real good is Sugar Buns!

I am fairly confident growing an SE corn variety. That's SE = Sugary Enhanced. This family of sweet corn usually has fairly good germination in cooler soil. Altho' Sugar Buns isn't really supposed to.

It is supposed to be one that doesn't have all that much vigor in cool conditions. But, I haven't had any trouble with it sprouting well. All of the SE varieties that I've tried have done well enuf for me . Bodacious is a real no-fail and a strong-grower! Still, Sugar Buns is very tender & tasty . And, it's early - very important here, also!

Some of the Super Sweets, I figure are out of the question. I tried them when they 1st showed up on the market and they came up very poorly.

For open pollinated corn the one that almost always comes out on top in blindfold taste tests is Silver Queen. It doesn't do as well when they can see it because it's white and some people just insist corn has to be yellow.

One of my all time favorites is "Peaches and Cream"....Bi-color, sweet and tasty.

Peaches and cream is also a favorite of ours. I don't know if it is GMO or not.

My favorite is "Luscious", an organic se+ hybrid. It is sweet, good corn flavor, and easy to grow.

On the opposite side of the coin the ones I really can't stand are the GMO super sweets. All you can taste is sweet; hardly any corn flavor at all.

My favorite sweet corn is from the farm stand down the road. Not having to give up a large amount of space to a crop that is like a homing beacon for deer, coons, and turkeys that play havoc in my garden to get it. Its like night of the living dead out there....CORN.....CORN.....CORN..........
