This year I planted one type of corn, the shoepeg or country gentlemans corn. I did this for two reasons: First I wanted sweet corn (white) and second the shoepeg is suppost to be insect resistant, the reasoning is that the husks are tight at the tips and wont allow insects in.

The corn rarely formed all the way to the tip, and it sure isnt very tender. It has un even rows , but this is suppost to happen with shoepeg corn. I had so many ( I think they are called corn burrows) throught the corn that is was just impossible to eat. Plus there is only one ear of corn per stalk.

What a bummer!!!!

anyone else have problem with Shoepeg corn?

Can you compost corn???
