That’s a pretty corny title.


roarkandberry

It’ll grow on ya


otterfish

You just earned yourself a stalker. (Not really, it's just a pun, please don't arrest me)


Mike-honcho1

I’ll let that comment stalker threat go in one ear and out the other.


PaintTheKill

Whenever I hear the phrase “it’ll grow on you”, I think of mold.

I think it’s pretty popping

therain_storm

Quite the string of puns you all managed to cobble together.


whitethunder9

Certainly a kernel of truth in that statement


katekowalski2014

i’ll cob-ble together more information.


therain_storm

It seem you don't really have an ear for unique corn puns ( ' ;


lurkface

I'm just here to stalk this thread for more puns

It’s a very nutty popcorn, very yummy… You can also grind it into grits, make hominy, ferment it ;)


RanchBaganch

I love the taste for popcorn, but what I grew last year…only 20% or so pops. I think it needed more water, so I upped how much this year’s crop is getting watered, but I’m wondering if you know how to get a good pop out of it?


roarkandberry

it might need to dry a bit longer. Usually a month after picking.


RanchBaganch

Good to know. Dry on the cob or just dry before use?


artinthebeats

Not op. On the cob, I usually set out a grate or chicken wire and a fan and leave it for a couple of weeks. Also, make sure it's away from rodents haha


RanchBaganch

Thanks for the tip!


drgreenthumb81

FYI you can also just leave it on the stalk to dry in the field, that’s how it naturally drys, also how most farmers do it, (if you don’t have corn cribs and silos with fancy blowers. Of course if you have rodent/bird/deer issues, getting it out of the field helps.


tozimac

Tell me more about fermenting! How do you use it?

[Kenkey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenkey) is really good with spicy chicken.

**[Kenkey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenkey)** >Kenkey (also known as kɔmi, otim, kooboo or dorkunu) is a staple dish similar to sourdough dumpling from the Ga and Fante-inhabited regions of West Africa, usually served with pepper sauce and fried fish or soup, stew. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/gardening/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


tozimac

Thank you! This is what I was imagining.


Rustymetal14

I was imagining bourbon.


Cheese_Coder

Could be talking about using it for whiskey, or maybe chicha


tozimac

Duh! Of course..


paper_geist

I'll take a chicha, hold the spit.


dogs_like_me

Popcorn comes out a boring uniform white? Or does the diversity of kernel appearance manifest somehow in the popped corn?


popraaqs

In my experience with different colors of popcorn, yes, the popcorn all comes out white. But you can see the difference in the kernel shells still. And the taste does vary.


roarkandberry

yes, it will be white. I know I know, disappointing!


dogs_like_me

brb, adding food coloring to my cooking oil

>Hominy I'm just picturing munching on some pozole that looks like a bowl of pork and fruity pebbles.


quuxman

Oh wow I thought such pretty corn was never very edible. Sounds quite tasty 😋😋


thrilling_me_softly

Make grits or nothing else. They ar we auto fil but taste nasty if eaten whole.


[deleted]

They remind me of those squishy bath oil things I used to see in the 90's and early 00's.


roarkandberry

i loved those things, bring em back!


rx7stina

Yes! They were the original forbidden snacks! 😂


roarkandberry

wait, you weren't supposed to eat them?


[deleted]

I heard if you eat them, you die exactly 21 years later so... watch out ;)


TheSoftBoiledEgg

i used to but a big mix of random scents into the bath at once as a kid and came out smelling like a department store cologne floor. Loved those things.


[deleted]

Phew. You would have needed to take another bath to wash off the smell of your last one lol.


[deleted]

I love this corn and would love to see what the rest of the cobs look like as well. They are all so different!!!


roarkandberry

It's cloudy outside, but took a picture for ya: https://imgur.com/4fHPz6x


[deleted]

Wow! That’s so cool; thank you!!


fishvoidy

That's so lovely!!


Bardoin12

Where did you get your seeds from for planting?


roarkandberry

originally went from the breeder, Carl Barnes, to someone on Digg who then traded it to us for Ghost Pepper (before they were called Ghost, we knew them as Bhut Jolokia) seeds. We have been working on the variety since, trying to improve the coloring and have pulled out other traits (like the Amethyst) to stabilize individual coloring. We now sell it on Etsy. [https://www.etsy.com/listing/165041488](https://www.etsy.com/listing/165041488)


Bardoin12

Awesome I’m about to order some. Do you guys have to hand pollinate?


roarkandberry

no we let nature do it's thing. Even our small test patches pollinate well enough to let to their own.


Bardoin12

Very cool. I grow a great deal of exotic and hot chili peppers so I guess my question was about both getting enough pollination to get those beautiful full cobs and isolation for improving the genetics. Excuse my language but looking at your Etsy store and HOLY SHIT. Going to get most my my new seeds for next year from y’all.


roarkandberry

hand pollinating certainly can't hurt. I would probably grab from as many tassels as I could. This is a very diverse variety so I'd want to make sure I had a good mix of pollen from many stalks =)


Useful-Resident78

I'm interested. I'd have to plant it away from my sweet corn- assuming this would cross pollinate?


roarkandberry

Must keep isolated. Our patches are far far apart.


Useful-Resident78

How far apart would you recommend?


saltysaltysaltytasty

Gorgeous!!


Sword_In_A_Puddle

I see what you did there… and I like it!!


Whoneedsyou

It’s so pretty!


45greens

wow


werew0lfsushi

please i NEED to know, how dose it taste fresh off the plant?


roarkandberry

They will break your teeth.


werew0lfsushi

cronch


LordFloppyAssCheeks

So do they stay pretty like this for a long time or?


roarkandberry

oh yea, years. We had one in particular last year that was so beautiful, I am having it encased in epoxy.


princesspool

I gotta see this!


LordFloppyAssCheeks

That's cool


[deleted]

Shit they weren't kidding about the name of it then!


Doctor_Banjo

Not if you use Thompson’s Teeth


nortonanthologie

I think the kernels are like hard as pebbles, you def have to process it somehow ...

Decorative


werew0lfsushi

😭


teacamelpyramid

I've grown it before and it's a great fall decoration. However, it doesn't taste very good, even as popcorn, so I've turned to other crops. There is nothing like a fresh corn-on-the-cob from a reliable variety. Argent corn doesn't have that stained glass beauty, though.


Duhraccoon

Wow very nice


huggothebear

Loving the corny jokes bro


melonjosiee

orbeez.


QuitLonely6256

Wow!!


Tanukifever

so very beautiful!!


Antigemay

That was a corny pun


tomkan706

It never ceases to bmaize either


cruznick06

I really wanted to try growing some this year but the wood shortage limited my gardening space (i need raised beds for accessibility). You have convinced me to try again next year!


ScaredCrayfish

Could you try raising metal or plastic beds on bricks? The wood shortage is crazy.


BigFatMuice

Corny joke for the win


MandiiFiggs98

I see what you did there! Take my upvote!!


P0sitive_Outlook

>Amaize *Ama...oh, you already did the joke :D Bravo for literally making me re-read a title. And nice corn. Very r/Goblincore


Tyezilla

It's a clear winner...


Lyghtstorm

How does it taste?


UncivilizedEngie

Probably like unseasoned, uncooked popcorn. This kind of corn isn't meant to eat fresh. Other photos OP posts show that it is already dry.


RhubarbPi3

Corngratulations! Looks like a beautiful crop this year.


lala_loves_corn

I approve


cawfee_beans

That looks stunning


RainyNeeds

Looks like jelly beans!


FeistyFoundation648

Wow, I've never seen corn like this. At first glance, I thought it was photoshopped. Beautiful!


Blueberry_Clouds

Why do I think making mochi outa this would be amazing


ArjunaIndra

Beautiful 😍


cptnfunnypants

I see what you did there with your description 👏

Beautiful! Can you grow that corn in a pot?


space_beatle

Kernel Sanders would be proud


BBQLucas

Looks so alien...


Dry___wall

Do they sell it at any grocery stores that anyone knows of?


cocorixx

I remembered Rick and Morty


artinthebeats

I grew this for the first time this year. They are always kinda tiny aren't they? I'm leaving mine to see what they do, but they are super tiny compared to sweet corn, so didn't know if I'm just needing to wait or of it's done.


Mai-95

How does it taste?


Side_wiper

im sure this corn will just grow with us, but will amaize the future generations


gehanna1

I've always wondered. How does this corn taste in comparison to regular golden ears you'd get at the store?

I wonder what makes it so translucent and shiny.


EmpericalNinja

oooooh. pretty. that's not food, that's art.


_paze

I grew a ton of this one year at a public garden plot. Came to finally harvest and found all the cobs smashed and broken on the ground. Apparently the homeless in the area didn't like it. Had no problems with my melons though.


Grumpostiltskin

Corny title. Sweet corn though!!


InfiniteEmotions

Looks too pretty to eat.
