Pink Popcorn was mine........seed from Canada. My lot are growing well, but nowhere near cropping yet! :-\
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Certainly must be a brilliant year this year as we have up to 5 cobs per plant - never, ever had this in 40 years of growing sweetcorn.  :)
