Wot no Sweetcorn on your list? Of all the more-tasty-than-Supermarket-stuff that I grow the Sweetcorn is head-and-shoulders in the lead. Always fun to server when we have a few folks round for lunch in the Summer - "Where do you get your Sweetcorn from?" gives me a wry smile

Oh Yes, Yes YESSS!
Top of my list for garden/plot perfection compared with the bought variety (if not productivity!)

No sweetcorn on my list... not tempted yet. Grew it long time ago - it was fine but I remember pondering over when to harvest and haven't tried again since then.

Well, it remains a very personal choice, doesn't it Learner?

Makes no difference how much the likes of me or anyone else praises the virtues of home-grown sweetcorn (or anything else) if you don't actually like it much!

We had neighbours who wouldn't eat cob corn. Turns out they'd tried cow corn instead of sweet corn. Not surprising they were turned off corn

Grew it long time ago

Long enough ago that the new "supersweet" and "tendersweet" varieties (which also have much shorter growing season) had not been introduced? (like when I-were-a-boy ....)

"I remember pondering over when to harvest"

Yes, agree with that. But they keep a while on the stalk.

You got local mates who grow Sweetcorn? Invite yourself round for lunch and see what you think - no point wasting your own growing space until you are sure!

(I'll now worry about a queue forming outside my own front door!)

Long ago...em. Noah gave me the seed from a store he had below deck    

Sweetcorn is delicious but it takes up room that I'd sooner use for other crops... and (when I last grew it in the 1800s) it was a little on the tough side - probably lack of regular watering... not been tempted since.
