Corn - Country Gentleman Corn prefers a deep, rich well drained soil. Corn is usually ready 3 weeks after silks appear. The tasty, sweet, milky heirloom corn is delightful to eat, and has one unusual trait, the kernels are not arranged in rows. This sweet corn is also known as Shoe Peg corn. It is very tasty to eat fresh and it is used for creamed corn. In the deep south, this can be as early as February. Successive plantings in two week intervals will produce a much longer cropping season. The Corn Sweet Country Gentleman, 'Zea mays', was introduced in 1891. Plant in the spring, a week or two after the last spring frost or when the soil is warm.
