Green Oaxacan Corn (Heirloom 95 Days)

Oaxacan corn

I've ordered this seed corn several times and grown it in my garden. It germinates well, grows well in Indiana, and after I harvest it, dry it to grind into enough cornmeal to last for a couple years. I do save the seed until it crosses accidentally with neighboring field corn. It's an heirloom variety and a great producer.

Great Corn, green color not a big deal

I grew one pack of this in 2021. (About 8'x10') This was a good corn for my first dried corn. In 3" tilling of five year old cow manure, It grew 13 feet tall. Really good flavor. I can see the color of these heirloom corns varies somewhat. The green in this is plainly visible in bright daylight, but from a distance many of the ears look black, and they have other colors also. I am making cornmeal by the cup, using a cheap coffee grinder ($2 at a rummage sale.) The cornmeal is delicious. Have not tried nixtamalizing. I could see becoming a corn hobbyist. I'm very enthusiastic about growing a similar size patch on a regular basis, and having my own cornmeal. Looking forward to trying other varieties, selecting for color, replanting, etc.

Excellent corn

First time planting, the corn grew very quickly. Looking forward to a great harvest. Nice and Hardy in zone 3-4
