Timothy W Dodge –
My brother and I have grown more varieties of Sweet Corn over the years than we can possibly remember. There have been some great ones but not one variety, in our opinion, can top Honey Select. It’s germination, disease resistance are excellent and most important the taste and texture are absolutely outstanding. We do not sell our sweet corn but liberally give it out to family and friends who consistently beg us to grow Honey Select the next year. You will not be disappointed if you decide to give this variety a try.
