I don't mind back-order from Johnny's. They give you one shipping cost and stick to it. I just need to get the A frame set up and start the sprouts. It's a bit early, but that gives me time to find the parts.

Why must you wait?

Inquiring minds want to know.

It's like getting a present, except she knows what's in it because we built the order together. She still gets all giggly and excited.

She's my girl.

That's nice.

Well, we placed the order together, but it's still fun to open the box.

From Burpee, for my Sun and Stars sweet corn.

I got it about 4 weeks ago, but I haven't opened it, just popped it into my cool, dry, safe spot until I need it.

Spring, spring, spring. My favorite time of the year.

The potatoes, basil, and one of the radish varieties are on back-order, but that's fine.

What would you say it the best features of Sun and Stars sweet corn?

By far the best, sweetest corn I've ever found. Of course, as they say, your mileage may vary -- people's taste in corn seems to vary radically. I know many people who like "old fashioned" heirloom type corns that aren't very sweet, or even young field corn. I'm partial to extremely sweet corn, so I like the Sh2 corns.

I like yellow corn over the white, but sweet is always good!
