Your favorite non SE corn?

maryinoregon · September 11, 2007

I absolutely loathe supersweet corns. I am looking for a plain sweet corn. Heirloom or old fashioned hybrids that last a day or two or three after you pick them. Golden Jubilee used to be what the farmers grew here. Now it's almost exclusively the supersweets and sugar enhanced. I have found a farmer who grows Honey Select, and it's pretty good. Yeah! I don't have much room and so spend most of my space on heirloom tomatoes, but some really nice sweet corn would be a treat. I would appreciate any suggestions for next year.
