The frost is holding off still, and my corn seemed to be ripening, so I have been picking a few cobs every few days. Mandan Bride is a flour corn, not a sweet corn, and I wasn't sure how long it needed to mature. The husks were starting to turn red so I thought it was worth picking. This is the first time I have grown this kind of corn. The description in the seed catalogue said it would be all colours, including some kernels striped or spotted. So far it is mostly blue, white and yellow, or dark purple and red when the cobs are more mature and dried. I haven't tried eating any yet. I have been waiting for it to dry, then I will try to make corn meal out of it.
Some of the cobs grew well, and others seem only partly fertilized. Any ideas why?
