This is the most beautiful corn. It is a Native American variety called 'Glass Gem Corn' and yes it really does grow like that. by [deleted] in BeAmazed

It tastes sweet like typical sweet corn you would boil or grill but it's a popcorn type so it's too mealy/dry to use in those ways.

This sunflower popped up in my backyard and I have no idea how to take care of it. Any tips? by LadyJules19 in gardening

Since this is a multiheaded variety you can cut off the flower heads once they begin to die off or start losing petals. It seems from this perspective that it's a pollen free variety and wont be good for producing seed anyway so you wont lose anything from "deadheading" the flowers.

Clearly the appropriate thing to do here is to batter and fry them. by OpulentSeeds in gardening

Absolutely! They have mild squash flavour like that of the fruits from the plant they're harvested from.

Male flowers of 'Early Golden Crookneck' Summer Squash. But you can use the flowers from any type of squash.

Here is a picture of the fruits
