Is it the real McCoy? What color is it?
You know me, it's all about the genetics when it comes to plants. Is it the real deal or is it some counterfeit Ebay seed?
Someone else mention County Market. Ya, I agree, the stores really screw up the sweet corn every year. It seems like they really prefer buying loads of the cheap card board tasting "feeder pig" corn and selling it as fresh picked sweet corn. In grocery stores it's really hit and miss and most of the time it's a big miss. Who tastes this crap before they buy it for these stores?

The Stables corn is bi-colored.
Really good and sweet. Best I've ever had!

I planted later then most, but I have some corn starting to come on myself. Guess I could pride myself in saying I am one of a very select few growing corn within the city limits 
I have Peaches n Cream variety, bought from a seed warehouse in Georgia (where it is native). It is a super sweet bicolor variety. We won't talk about what the rain has done to my other veggies (that are used to drought conditions)

Made the mistake of buying tomatoes from the truck parked down at the sewing place across from Kwik-Trip. I actually bought corn from this kid also. Had the tomato last night on a veg. hamburger. It was so tough and had zero flavor. I wish I would've read this thread beforehand. I haven't had his sweet corn yet 
I bought some of the sugar enhanced sweet corn at the Farmers Market on Saturday from two older fellows. It was husked, cleaned and in a bag for $5.00/dozen and it was incredible! We've already eaten it all and it's only Monday  Yum-yum!!!!!
