That looks more like a dent corn than a sweet. How long does it take to tassel? Do you use it ground for cornmeal? Did you grow enough of it to trade later this fall?

Hi,
Does anyone have a tally of what went into the breeding of current version of Astronomy Domine?

Hi, Does anyone have a tally of what went into the breeding of current version of Astronomy Domine? CesarZ I think that the short answer is: No. The slightly longer answer is: Almost every available heirloom/OP sweet corn, and a good dose of modern hybrids, more than 170 cultivars. There was a good start to the list on this thread: 3 Year Pedigree of Astronomy DomineI am routinely converting other kinds of corn into sweet corn and adding them into my strain of Astronomy Domine. I am currently working on converting South American corns into sweet corn. |
