brilliant crop this year, this is the first of many, got at least 30 cobs from 12 plants, plus lots of little ones on the sides ;D

Pink Popcorn was mine........seed from Canada. My lot are growing well, but nowhere near cropping yet! :-\

manicscousers · July 22, 2009, 14:54:10

no, deb..our pink ones are about 3' tall but no cobs yet :-\

BockingBill · July 22, 2009, 21:08:59

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. :)
