Macon, IL | It was by far the easiest we have ever had to deal with. Despite hoeing and selected hand spraying our sweetcorn is usually full of weeds. THis is great-just put Callisto over the top when rest of field was being sprayed, and roundup when it was about 2 feet tall-clean as a whistle. Sprayed silks with Tempo when first emerged and didn't have a single ear worm in the few hundred ears we have shucked-that was the only mainteance we did besides plant.
Rain this spring I am sure helped-but the ears are big and fully tipped out-a lot of it looks like something that should be in a magazine.
We planted Obsession II and Temptation II. I forgot which is which-will have to look in log book-we have just finished eating the first one and the second one should be ready in the next couple days.
Due to simplicity I will definately be planting it again-but...the taste....hmmm.. Is is not BAD-but for the price I had really high expectations. This first number I would rate it a 5 or 6 out of 10 of all the sweetcorn I have ever had. Illini Supersweet has been our favorite in the past, I would give it an 8 or 9 depending on the year.
Hopefully the 2nd variety will live up to expectations-but so far I am a little disappointed.
