Gerardo, I can't help with growing corn in containers, but I can heartily recommend the variety called Mirai as it is simply great tasting and grows easily. It even tillered good for me last year and produced full sized ears on most of the tillers. We ended up with more than 30 full ears from a slightly less than 8 x 8 foor plot with the bicolor version last year. It comes in yellow, white and bicolor.
And, it holds the flavor for several days in the fridge, too! Happy corn growing. |

Sorry, didn't see this post and question- we loved the 74 day bi color best. So did evert one else that we shared with. I pushed the season last fall and it made all those ears going into the cool weather, which sweet corn hates.
Looking forward to seeing how it does in good for sweet corn season this year! |

A tight wrapped ear such as ambrosia will help deter the worms. The worms are the millers that smack your windshield. The millers usually lay their eggs when the field corn tassels. If the millers are early they hit the sweet corn. We have luck putting brown lunch bags over each ear after pollination, instead of powders. Course the black birds will help get rid of them, while making about as much a mess as the worms.
