Silver Queen

Close to 4 feet tall now

You're being mean to the rest of us again, Paul... ☺

But that is some fine looking corn!

thanks

Is it eating time?

Yup

phicks, mine isn't quite as tall as your's yet......can't wait to see some ears out there! That silver queen is so good I've actually taken it right from the stalk and eaten it raw......yum. Course, we don't use any pesticides either.

mmmm...
Is it too late to plant some? I'm jealous.

you may be able to in CA

Triple Play...

I've heard that Silver Queen rocks, though. If mine produce this year, I will buy those next!

I put some in this morning; the grocery store here had seeds. The package didn't say how long until harvest...but I'll be hopeful. :-) Thank you.

I'm gonna plant some too... I still have room, so why not?

Definately - you have a long growing season! I put mine in with cukes and beans - the three sisters. I had planned to do that, but then doubted and now...well, it's worth the try. I won't have much, but then, it's only me and even a half dozen ears will be soooo good.

I planted three good size rows of silver queen, and more rows of three other varieties of sweet corn in a newly plowed area of my field. The crows have helped themselves to the sprouting kernels and eaten about 75% of them. They kindly leave the green leaves minus the sprouted kernel on the ground to mock me. Still, I like crows, always have.

Good luck to those of you planting silver queen for the first time and you may never plant any other kind again. I'll also tell you that we aren't the only ones that like it!!.........the squirrels, raccoons, rascals they are. They'll take one ear off, take a few bites, throw it down and go for one more. Or, now I've written this maybe they don't..............LOL.

If you want to keep the suirrels and some of the other critters from eating your corn, once they have done tassling, take a paper lunch bag and put it over them. The ears wil finish developing under the bag and the critters wil not be having a feast at your expense.

Starlight Bags like the one in my Picture ? Paul

Sorry Paul.. When I click on yoru pic it still comes up tiny, so if you have lunch bags over your ears, sorry, I can't see them.

That sounds bad, : ) lets try lunch bags over your ears of corn and not your ears.

This one will come up bigger, you will be able to see the bag....lol

Hahahahahahaha... Guess I was right the first time in saying lunch bag over YOUR ears. LOL Cute pic and yep that just what I mean except ya cna use a smaller bag I think ; )

Nice that the squirrels won't bother your ears, Paul! Very funny!

BTW, did you send me several brug cuttings last year? I'm pretty sure it was you, but the ole gray matter just ain't what it used to be!

Way to go!

Yup Was Me How Did they do for you? Paul

I think you send 3 - one got the squishies, but the other 2 are doing great! Thank goodness the Equador White is one of the survivors! I still have them in one-gallon pots. Should they be potted up?

Aren't they cute? The middle one is EW and the one on the right is your Versi Peach.
