special seed for high altitude.... Not. Growing degree units to black layer, yes, but altitude is not a factor. Check how many "day" the seed is.. Many here are mistaking double cross, single cross, etc...
75-90 IIRC.
Just got my .5 lb bag of it. We will see how it grows at the Beau homestead this year. Tasted a few kernels and they were tasty. Ordering to delivery was about a week.
Putting them in the basement until growing season.
I need some of this...they are claiming that it is heiloom too?

It seems all my corn has died. I think it was the lack of sun light. I was putting it out in the day time, but keeping it in during the really cold days.
Boooo. Well, we'll both be experimenting in the spring I guess. Your germination results were promising.
Sweet. 100% germination. We'll see how this grows up here.
Mine is nearly 8 inches tall. It survived the hail and cold pretty well, We planted them around Mother's day weekend.
Direct sow seems to work best.
Good luck rbeau30. I put about 20 sprouts in the bed and have 8 in pots in the house as backup. The weather up here is really messing up my plans.
I hear ya, I have lost 4 fruit trees this year, and another Cherry tree and plum tree are not looking so good. I had to do some drastic pruning.I started 12 kernels and pretty much planted them right away because they germinated in two days and quickly threatened to become root-bound. I added 4 more to the bed to top it off directly sewing them, and they quickly caught up to the others.This makes me realize that there is no way I can come close to subsisting on my measly property. And in years like this, I think we would be starving.
