Have you ever planted popcorn?

You must be kidding!!! You plant popcorn and get more popcorn. I still cant believe its true - or is there something I missed??!!

I did not know that popcorn would grow. I have planted corn using seed corn. That's interesting to know. Someday I when I get a garden again I will have to try that!

no I have never planted popcorn I never knew that you actually could. That is amazing.

No ****!? It really sprouted?! I always thought that they must have cooked it in some way, or irradiated it, or just treated it with too many chemicals. I've got to try that! Thank you for a very, very interesting an weird factoid! I've never tried that. I have grown Milk n' Honey, (the local variety of yellow and white) and Silver Queen, which turned out to be a horrid batch - we had a bad summer and it was useless. Anyone else would have used it for feed corn. I do grow a couple of stalks in late Summer so that I have some dry cornstalk to adorn my walkway in the Fall.

my grandparent used to grow popcorn every year...it was fantastic..all us kids would help take it off the cobs and put it in jars...they grew a yellow kernel and a purple kernel...my grandma even planted peanuts one year...

Wow! I never knew that you could grow plant popcorn kernals and that they would sprout! That is a cool idea, and one that I will have to try this year.

I've planted popcorn before, but not from something I'd bought at the store. I assumed that was so specialized that it probably wouldn't grow. I agree that homegrown popcorn is much, much better than you can buy.

I've never planted it but I know someone that did. The popcorn looked like corn on the cob,but it was popcorn kernels on the cob instead. I put the popcorn cob in a brown paper bag in the microwave and had microwaved popcorn on the cob. It was good. I wonder what time of the year did you plant it and when did it mature into popcorn?

I have never planted popcorn before, but I always thought it would be kind of fun to try it sometime. I always wondered how it would turn out. It sounds really good after reading your post! I think I will have to try it out sometime! :)

I've never tried it, but it sounds like it would be an interesting project. Thanks for the idea! :)

I planted corn seeds before but they didn't grow like the should have because I didn't have the adequate sun. My parents just built a small garden at their house and planted corn as well. Theirs will probably grow nice, like in the fields, because they have good soil and lots of sun.
