Sweet! I'm real interested in your results as well.

Any germination results?

5 of the six germinated. Planted in starter pots 48 hours ago.

Very interested in your results.
All my corn ends up the size of baby corn on 2 foot tall stalks.

I noticed your location. I've had good luck near you with Walmart's Burpee "Sugar Pearl" 6-8' stalks and 2-3 ears per stalk. My elevation there was between 7-7250ft which is higher than Falcon.
They require lots of water, the rainfall here isn't even close to adequate but they will grow and produce if you water them a lot.

Thanks for the info. I will pick some up in the spring. Also going to try a small green house for peppers and tomatoes

Just ordered a pound myself.

So, obviously it needs to pollenate otherwise you won't get any seeds to germinate.

What would you say is the minimum number of plants you should have to make harvest effective?


EDIT:

I ordered a half pound. I have a space where I can put some. We will see how much I get out of the space that I have set aside. You can now order online without having to send them a check.

Pic taken today! Growing nicely planted in some plain old backyard soil.
