Sweet Corn-vegetable guys

[greenheadgrimreaper]

If you could have ONE sweet corn variety what would it be? Silver Queen is out. I planted it last year I'm wanting to go with a se or sh2 variety. Smart booty comments are welcome.

i dont kknow the variety but the corn i get from Holly Ridge is the sweetest you will ever find

[brandon327]

obsession (sp?) fine as it gets. I bet you can't eat just one ear. Good luck on finding the seed though. You have to order it and order it early.

Sweet G90

sweet G90, bodacious is what we sell. used to sell some meritt too.

[greenheadgrimreaper]

where do you get it from brandon?

[cbath]

I agree on the Holly Ridge as good as it gets price not bad and no worms

I like Merit and Silver Queen. Merit will hold longer if pulling ears has to be delayed. The ultra sweet varieties is just too sweet for me. I like Merit on the cob and Silver Queen when you are doing fried or cream corn.

More than likely I am going to go with an se variety. They're not super sweet, but are alot sweeter than the su varieties like Silver Queen and Merit. I grew silver queen last year and have always liked it for that old time corn taste, but I want to try something else that is a little sweeter.

Where can I get this Holly Ridge from?

I ate some of the best corn last year, farmer said very hard to find the seed, but he called it peaches and cream ( this might be the farmer slang name ) but if you can find it is well worth the price.

Our county extension agent was getting it for us. The g90 is good too if you can't get the obession. If you look online you can find alot of different varietys.

peaches and cream was what the first bi-colored sweet corn was called. now there are several bi-colored brands out. if you can find the "old" peaches and cream it is very good as is just about any of the bi-colored ones. sweet g-90 is one of them. back in the 60's field corn was good.

Do you know why it is so hard to get? I know that they sell it per seed not per pound the way we get it.
