when is corn ready in zone 5- Wisconsin?

 

When should I begin haunting the Farmer's market for fabulous locally grown sweet
corn?  INgrid
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Somewhere between zone 5 and 6 tucked along the shore of Lake Michigan
on the council grounds of the Fox, Mascouten, Potawatomi, and Winnebago

 


It's already here in upstate NY, same zone (along Lake Ontario). Go now. It
would be surprising to find that your farmers aren't planting some of the
same early varieties we have here.

 


Call the market manager to ask this question.  Whetting your appetite
with good information about when crops will come in is part of the
manager's job.

Most of the sites just generally say "August". This might get you in contact
with a local with hopefully less vague info:

Not to stire up the thread-drift police, but has anyone ever seen the
ancestral plant corn came from? Genetic engineering over the millenia
sometimes amazes me.
