Strawberry corn - popcorn ( photo / image / picture from Donna S's Garden )

 

Interesting!

 

I can't believe some of the stuff you grow. That is cool..?

 

That looks great! I tried to grow some a few years back, but it didn't do much.

 

Donna, if I bring the DVD, will you pop the corn and we'll all have a night of it? I like a bit of butter and salt on mine . . . .

 

Nice

 

Barb, I try to grow something different every year. I grew popcorn for my GK"s. this year. I wanted them to see how it grew and how we popped corns when I was a kid. I've been looking for a popper from my day, but now they are antigue and very expensive.

Netty, I found it easy to grow. Drying it is the tricky part.

Jane, Don't for get the wine.

Cheryl & KK, Thanks.

 

Very Nice

 

Donna... if you have a deep cast iron pot or skillet, you can pop them in that. Just add some oil to the bottom.

 

Cheryl, I do and that is how it will get popped. I really wanted the antique popper.

 

Donna please do post the picture of the pop corns as well. I would love to see that too.

 

Wonder if you can still get Jiffy-Pop?

 

Mart, yes you can buy Jiffy-Pop. Goggle it you'll be shocked at the price.

 

I always wanted to grow that, for it's beauty in the ears, and it's practicality...tell me..are the stalks pretty too? Pics welcome!

 

Growergirl, The stalks look like regular corn, but not as tall. You have to let the ears dry on the stalks. So stalks are gone now that I have picked it all. What you see in picture came from 8 stalks.
