Does anyone grow Golden Bantam anymore? I like the (se) hybrid corns they
sell around here in the summer, mostly because if it is overripe or was
picked two days ago it will still be sweet. I don't really like the (se2)
supersweet corns because they just taste like sugarwater and don't have
enough "chew" to them.

I think Golden Bantam might be better suited for a small home garden in an
unpredictable climate (even in June the weather could turn cold right after
I plant, or it could be hot), but I don't remember that much about it -- 2
small ears per stalk, short stalks tha can be planted close together, you
gotta start the water boiling before you pick it because it gets starchy
*fast* after picking.

Are there any other old-fashioned sweet corns that are good for small
gardens? Ordinarily I wouldn't waste the space on corn since I can buy
pretty good fresh corn, but I think it would be a good rotation crop where
I've been beans, peppers, and tomatoes in the same spot every year and
starting to have pest and disease problems.

BTW, Wife would like for me to grow Silver Queen, but it is too late to
produce up here. If there's a good northern variety of white corn it might
be a good compromise.

Best regards,
