Introduced in 1853 after years of refining to perfection, this drought-tolerant variety is the leading white corn. Sweet, rich flavor. Ears grow 8-9" long and the stalks grow 8-10 feet tall.
Planted the corn and awaiting for the harvest🌽
I had to beg them to reship the package, they lost the first one and kept saying it would still come despite no tracking. It never came, replacement arrived after planting season.
This was one of four or five (sweet, not dent) varieties we bought from MIG. It was the only one that struggled in the garden with the rows and size of kernels being very irregular.
I will not be planting this year but am very excited for spring planting 🥰
Took long to germinate
This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
This variety was excellent for me for cooking. I needed to pick fewer leaves and chopping was a breeze. The spinich felt more succulent and thicker than the American (smaller spoon shaped leaves). I would use it for cooking and keep the smaller leaved varieties for raw salad eating. My weather was a tricky early on and off again spring and winter pattern, so I think that triggered early bolting, but even still. It was pretty hands off and worth it.
Awesome producer and neat looking fruit! The abundant cucumber beetles seem to ignore the vines too!
Haven’t planted yet. Looking forward to adding to salads! So happy MIgarden had these. Hard to find Microgreen seeds
