Has anyone here ever grown this great (Sh2) variety? Last year my neighbor/friend/sometimes business partner had about an acre worth of it that he planted in mid april here in southern indiana (about 3 weeks ahead of suggested corn planting) and got great cold soil germination. We had sweet corn for market a full 2 weeks prior to anyone else and it sold like mad. It's a great, small, bi-color sweet ear with great holding qualities.

I definetly reccomend this variety to anyone growing for market or with a short season (or just dying for sweet corn and wanting to push the season). We will be planting some next week provided temps. are in the right place!

	Small backyard garden about 3000 sq. ft.. Loam with truckloads of leaves, etc., added over the last 35 years. Last normal frost as late as Memorial Day (2009 - 31.9 degrees 6/1, 33 degrees 6/14). First frost around October 1, but I am at a low elevation (about 50' above sea level) and can have light frosts at inconvenient times. (32 - 9/26/09) I never met a fish I didn't like....
