OT– Anyone growing "Honey Select" sweet corn in th

641Dave · Mar 10, 2014

Just curious if anyone has grown this particular variety and if so, what did you think about the corn?

I'm finding it hard to track down for the seed. It's a Triple Sweet type and supposedly as sweet as it gets. I wonder if it might be to sweet but the description on the MBS Seed Companies website has my curiosity up and I have a spot for about 1/4 lb of seed in the garden.

Anyway, if anyone has tried it, I'm all ears.

I grow and like peaches and cream sweetcorn.
Wife and SIL, when they can, they cut off the cob then cook it and add sugar. Gets way to sweet for me. Last year cut back on the sugar, but I think it is a little to sweet yet.

I planted about 320 stalks two years ago. I wited 12 days after my first planting of a different variety on 15 May.
Findings. Make sure it will be over 65 degrees when it emerges. Plant it about 2 inches deep and at 6 inch spacing on 36 inch rows.
It doesn't grow very tall or very big in diameter. If you can plant it downwind of another good veggie. It will lodge.
Small ears.
All in all big disappointment. I stay away from the triple sweets and stick with SE's

We planted seminis obsession II last year. Its a round up
resistant peaches and cream type. Planted it on the headlands
with the field corn. Very happy with it. Gonna plant it again this
year.
