Congrats. That’s super fast. Well worth the effort.

I was very pleased with this variety for the earliness and yield. It wasn’t as much as a ‘regular’ sweet corn would have yielded but a regular variety wouldn’t have been ready to pull before it got too cold. Plus a regular variety would have been taller and more difficult to cover when letting it go to seed.

I’ve found a source for the Gaspe flint corn I want to start super early in a tunnel next spring so I’m a happy camper. That corn variety only gets like 18” or 2’ tall. It was an ancestor of the Yukon Chief variety. I’m hoping to get that one planted in a covered raised bed sometime the end of Feb here.
