Eastern VA. No such thing as too many Magnums. | Ambrosia seems to be popular, but I don't like SE sweet corn. I can't believe anyone still plants silver queen. Silver queen is the original SU sweet corn and its horrible stuff we grew when I was a little kid in the late 70s. It certainly made a name for itself. So that leads me to believe the stuff in the early 70s was even nastier. If you want a good sweet corn, plant something with Sh2 characteristics. Or even a synergistic. Then you get the germination of an SE with the good taste of an SH2. If you liked silver queen, almost ANYTHING will be an improvement by comparison. People are funny about sweet corn. We ship corn all over the east. The north wants bicolor, the mid atlantic wants white, and down south we primarily sell yellow. We like 278 bicolor and 378 white. "Awesome" and 1336 are good yellows. Devotion and Obsession are also good varieties, but they don't yield or have the durability of 278/378, but that probably doesn't matter for your needs. |
Anybody plant Ambrosia sweet corn?
