Title: "Bloody Butcher" Indian Corn
Post by: Tinkie_Bear on November 29, 2006, 21:14:30

I have been given an ear of red corn, I think from looking at pictures it is "Bloody Butcher" an Indian corn that makes yummy corn on the cob.  I am not 100% certain this is the variety but the descriptions I have found and the pictures look right.

As you can see I have plent of seed, I will bag them up in little parcels 20 or so per bag.

If anybody is interested in having a go please send me a PM, I am looking for chili's or squashes in exchange but anything considered.

All those who have requested seeds should have received them by now, if you haven't please let me know.  If anybody else would like any you are more than welcome, I still have some to spare.

Hi Saddad,

I did thank you very much, I have not been very organised and can't remember who is sending what !!   Hubby is very excited as he is the chilli head and wants to try and grow things next year - he's never shown an interest before.

Everybody who asked for corn should have it now, if not please let me know (there is still more if anybody is still interested)

Thanks again

Helen

I could send him a few "Ring of Fire" which are drying beautifully Helen, but if he wants to save seed he is better to just grow one variety!

Very smooth red one half way up left hand side is clearly a "ring of fire" they haven't wrinkled on drying....

Fantastic, he'll be made up.  Bless him I have been trying to get him involved ofr a while but chillis appear to have sparked an interest.

Thanks a million, is there anything you would like traded back?

Not that I can think of at the moment....
The fat ones bottom right are Jalapenos and the top right are some stray Achocha! The very long wizzened one (Still Green) in the middle is Krakatoa and there are some Carribean blend mixed in as well!
Hopefully OH will get his Secret Santa pressie in time!
