| Eaton Rapids grown Super Sweet sweet corn. This was grown by the Pray family. Modern sweet corn is about twenty times better than it was forty years ago.

The downside is that the seeds are shrunken and they are fussy germinators. |

| Cut-and-come-again broccoli. This looked prettier raw than it looks cooked. |
Yep, corn 'flavor' has changed... I always liked a Silver Queen/Yellow mix they grew in the deep South. Haven't seen any of that in years.
ReplyDeleteYou mean Peaches N Cream? That's the local (West KY) variety of yellow/white sweet corn. It's widely available here, moreso even than regular yellow sweet corn!
