   The "gotta have it" sweetcorn is entering peak ripeness.
   
   With the weird more-than-week maturity distribution, that peak should be very spread out and I can almost keep up w/ what hits it by just eating a ton of corn every night until near-mid August. Idk, we'll see how that goes.
   
   I may hold a portion back and vacuum/pack it. We definitely won't have anywhere near as much as w/ the six-shooter from last year (which I still have probably 5-6 _gallons_ of in the chest freezer). Awesome stuff tho - if it's not too much of a p.i.t.a. to store, I could get into the variety in future.

     @collatz I'm ignorant of corn, but are these sterile or can you grow from them? Are there any decent "heirloom" sweet corn varieties? I've considered growing corn because it's rather hardy and grows fast which will entertain my youngest ones.

     @BowsacNoodle @collatz never liked growing corn. Always been more of a potatoes guy.
     Corn just reminds me of Big Corn Monsanto sucking up all the water
