Some of the best tasting sweet corn I have had but it just doesn't come up that good for me.

I had a lot of Early Sunglow come up and its not bad. I think that was Wetsel Seeds and some Cloud 9 from Gurneys as well and a little bit of Sugar Dots from Ferry Morse.

Not bad but its running out. I love summer sweet corn

I love the gotta have it too. Good stuff. It does come up poor if the soil isn't really warm. I also have a rough time with wireworms eating the young seedling roots on it. Maybe because the seed I got isn't treated. Another good thing about it is that it does better with worms, I think it is because the ear doesn't start until way down in the husk. For some reason I have had very few worms in my corn this year, also all my tassels are upright. None of the bent over ones that come when a worm enters the tassel. I am not complaining, in most years I have a worm in just about every ear.

Gotta Hav It, was my favorite this summer also...and also had poor germination!!! Talked w/ Gurney's rep about the problem and they replaced my original order free of charge!!! Have read on a blog somewhere that poor germination of this seed is common!!! Peace, Wayne
