Corn - Honey & Cream The Corn Honey & Cream, 'Zea mays var rugosa', is excellent for small gardens and short growing seasons. If we had to choose two vegetables that were much better home grown than bought from a store, corn and tomatoes would be our choice. Honey and Cream allows gardeners with small plots or gardeners in northern climates to enjoy this wonderful flavor. The plant has 6 to 7 inch ears with 10 to 12 rows of very tender kernels. It is great fresh and Honey and Cream can be canned or frozen. Successive plantings in two week intervals will produce a much longer cropping season. Corn prefers a deep, rich well drained soil. Corn is usually ready 3 weeks after silks appear. |
