Sugar Baby sweet corn

We have been enjoying some really tender and yummy sweet corn.  This is the first time that either of us has tried growing corn and so far we have had great results.  We planted 2 varieties – Sugar Baby, which we are eating now, and Peaches and Cream, which should mature in another week or two.  Both are bi-color varieties.  The Sugar Baby plants are bigger and have produced some very nice sized ears.  The Peaches and Cream plants are not nearly as robust, but I’m hoping the corn will taste just as good.  We’ve read a lot about how many insect pests like sweet corn and we do see quite a lot of stinkbugs, and small black beetles on the plants, with just a small amount of damage inside the ears, but nothing we can’t live with.  We just break off the buggy ends and give those to the chickens as treats – bugs AND sweet corn!  This works out just fine for us and we don’t have to resort to covering the plants with chemicals.  We are going to try freezing some whole cobs and just kernels in the next few days, but nothing beats walking out to the garden and picking just a few ears to have fresh for dinner – yummy!
