I'm a farmer now

[IronWing]

I've finished the year's planting. I planted the whole packet. What size tractor should I buy?

That's real? No genetic modifications?

Nifty. Where did you get the seeds?

Very cool. I'll have to look around, and see if there's anything similar for the mid Atlantic.

That's what I used. I think it needs a headlight and maybe a PTO.

Interesting variety, but how does it taste? Most other corn that I have seen that has similar color patterns has been hard or feed corn. For eating I'll stick with silver queen.

You can get the seeds at Amazon.

Best to you OP. May the weather be with you.

 

[Murloc]

that's extremely cool.
Anyway colored corn generally is hard and no good for eating, is it different for that one?

 

[linuxboy]

This is a flint corn. Good for making masa or flour, not so good for eating fresh.

 

[mizzou]

hurry OP. Winter is coming.

time to make gem-colored tortillas

The hard part is sorting the kernels by color... someone should invent a machine (and then find out they can't patent it because this post is prior art)

First harvest!

They're kind of runty but not bad for dry land popcorn. I couldn't believe the corn worms found our corn patch, twenty miles from the nearest large corn field. There are another fifteen ears or so left on the stalk we're leaving to dry for a few more days.

 

[waggy]

nice. i wondered how they would come out.

this is what you need now..

 

[UglyCasanova]

Are you going to eat them, use them for decoration, or what? And if you already ate them, how was it?

 

[sixone]

Those are very cool looking. Wonder how they taste.

Planted in late October? Seems odd, how long until harvest?
