For the sweet tooth seeds, (err they were called that were they not???)
Best tasting, largest, sweetest sweetcorn we have EVER grown! We are fighting over the cobs! ;D
Course now I need to know.....where oh where can I buy the seeds for next season as I would like to grow 3 times the amount! ;D ;D

Erm that is my OH's hand, though he seems to have come out looking like a werewolf in the pic! (Oh well, Halloween just round the corner!)

WOW. Going to have another look at my sweetcorn today to see if they are ripe.

So will i but i don't think it will be as good as DP'S that looks bloody great.

What variety are they?

I picked some of my Real Seeds 'Double Standard' last night, also white and yellow corn and they were a bit odd, the corn was quite higgaldy piggledy and lots of different sizes all jumbled together instead of ordered rows! The cobs were fairly complete, just jumbled! Tasted great though. ;D

Doris, can you keep a cob or two for seed saving?
They do look so delicious.
Well done

Lauren  ;D

Hey doris they look absolutely amazing  :o  If you could bare to save a whole cob for seed then you're already sorted for next year  ;)

They are called Sweet Tooth, they are my favourites that I have grown for some years now, I try others but always seem to come back to them. I get them from a small company in Canada, I usually buy in bulk .  The company no longer sells outside of Canada but I have managed to get them via a relative. They are a hybrid. It is a heavy yeilder , I particularly like the fat cobs and that  because it is a bicolour you get the old corn taste in the yellow with the sweetness in the white.  I think this one is great for UK gardens as it was bred for Coastal BC which is very similar.

I will have more in the Spring

We had the first of ours on Friday. They were delicious- got them from Alan Romans and they were labelled "extra tender & sweet"- not sure if that's the variety or just his opinion!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm  ;D

I have just had a reply from the company I get these seeds from who have stopped selling outside of Canada, they WILL supply me,  so I am very pleased about that. I will be ordering these seeds in a few weeks for myself, if anyone would like any  please  PM  and I will see you get them, The company is called West Coast seeds if anyone would like to look it up on the net. Let me know ASAP. I shall be ordering several things from them so it is no trouble XX Jeannine

Have PM'd you! ;D

I have had a few Pms. I will be buying in a few weeks , I will order about 1 pound of this corn seed with my other stuff which is lots to share, I  will post again when it arrives.XX Jeannine

"Extra Tender & Sweet" is a variety of sweetcorn. Like Jeannine's "Sweet Tooth" it is an F1 Hybrid so unlikely that seed saving would be worthwhile.

Hi all, I am ordering these seeds in a couple of weeks, if anyone else wants them let me know before Mid November and I will include you, I have:

Barnowl, Jitterbug,Doris Pinks,Norfolk Lass, and Lauren S. if anyone else wants them it is no trouble and if I have forgotten anyone please remind me, it has been a chaotic few weeks so I may well have lost your message.

XX Jeannine

Yes please Jeanine, will pm you.

I've PM'd you too ;D
