Here is my corn, the pole beans are in there somewhere lol. The plant on the bottom right is my summer squash.

My zuchini

My cucumber

My bush beans

My mammoth sunflowers

Not sure why my zuchini is a yellowish green color though.

I happened to see this today when looking for different corn varieties to plant next year.

It's a red colored corn but not one of the heirlooms being discussed in this thread. It's marketed a new SE hybrid that is

1. very sweet when the kernels are red
2. it doesn't get chewy like heirlooms do.


I have to admit being able to bite into a red kernel without loosing teeth is tempting but it would violate my goal of only using heirlooms.

It's an interesting possibility regardless. I wonder if it has the improved nutrition of the colored heirlooms?

Sigh

My zuchini plants are not producing, they flower then they flowers die i dont know what is wrong with them.

Are your zucchini plants setting female flowers? Or perhaps just male blossoms??? If you're getting female blossoms, but no fruit, it could be related to temperature. Is it super hot where you are???
