I spoke with a Master Gardener the other day on the phone with one of the major seed supply places, where I purchased sweet corn seeds, because I had some concerns about the corn I received from them.
On the package it said to expect 50% of the seeds to produce.
The Master Gardener I spoke with from this seed company told me that I should expect 1 ear of corn from each stock and to plan on only getting 1/2 of the plants to produce.
I purchased 1,000 seeds and now I'm only going to get 500 stocks with one ear of corn.
I'm not real happy with this.
Is it the corn I purchased that made these stats?
Or
Is this normally how it goes with all sweet corn?
I'm looking for about 3 pounds of Sweet Corn seed and I'm not sure what to get.
I want at least 2 ears of corn per stock, 7" to 8" ears filled to tip, early, bi-colour, ummmm lets see...lol
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
