Does anyone else grow cool types of corn? If so post your photos here. I just picked these painted mountain corn cobs and think they look awesome

How do yours taste cool name? I couldn't even get chickens to scratch em haha but your right they look awesome!

I haven't tried grinding any, but the young fresh kernels are not too bad I suppose. Ofcourse it doesn't taste like sweet corn though

Some of my blue corn has germinated.

I have a few leftover kernels if anyone else wants a go at growing some. I have had %100 germ rate so far

This is some glass gem corn that I am growing at the moment. I picked these two a bit too early but they still look really good

I have someleft over gg corn, Indian red and a large white variety to trade if anyone wants to?

They all taste like crap but the white variety is okay when picked young.

Dozer they aren't for eating fresh like sweet corn. They are really good for making corn meal and are also nice if you dry out and then shallow fry some kernels in olive oil with whatever seasoning you like.

I have painted mountain corn available if you want to work something out?
