First ever corn cob!

Far more exciting than those beans :)


Although the tomatoes are a little feeble.

We also had a second one that had a lot of red kernels rather than the blue above. Taste test: boiled them for 12ish minutes and they were rather chestnut textured. A little floury I guess? Tasted very corn like but not sure if they were boiled enough, too much, or that's the reason why other coloured corn isn't sold mainstream. Have to say it would be a lot more substantial than the usual corn but the texture was a bit strange at first.

Congratulations on your new funky corn. It's enormous. I've never had corn grow to full size. We used to eat it raw straight from the garden.

Thank you :) I was surprised that it worked too! We just planted 3 rows of the corn (apparently 3 is the minimum for it to work), and hey presto, it worked! Not sure how well these would work raw. They are a bit solid for corn.

we used to eat baby corns, and/or use them as projectiles...
