[Sca-cooks] Sweet corn (OOP)

[Tara]

I have a slow internet connection today and don't have the patience to
check this out myself ;) but, www.seedsofchange.com carries a lot of
heirloom varieties, and they usually describe the history of their
heirlooms.  I bought two heirloom corns from them this year.  Damned
birds ate every seed I planted.
