Silver Queen Sweet Corn

Believe it or not the sweet corn is finally ready. We have two plantings, the other should be about 2 - 3 weeks behind this one. The second planting looks even better than the first. We had to try the first batch picked last night and as Sharon said, "it tastes like the corn of our youth". There's something about silver queen sweet corn. It isn't as sweet as some of the (sh2) super sweet hybrids that are planted today, but the small fine kernels and the classic sweet corn taste we think is a perfect balance. We'll have to see if our customer's like it or if they have become more accustom to the (sh2) sweet corn. We'll pick some to sell at farmers market tomorrow and we have customer who wants to u-pick so we should be able to get some feedback right away.
