FREE: Tasty & Beautiful 'Painted Mountain' Corn - a 70x Heirloom

The listing, Tasty & Beautiful 'Painted Mountain' Corn - a 70x Heirloom has ended.

It's back! Got my hands on another packet of seeds, so I can offer a few more auctions for this fabulous corn.
I originally found this corn at the National Heirloom Festival -- it's incredibly beautiful, and perhaps more importantly, it is incredibly hardy and very nutritious! Can't wait to try it!

Here's what the seed supplier has to say about it:
"One of the favorite things we've ever grown, Painted Mountain lives up to its name. You never know what to expect when shucking an ear, although you are guaranteed something beautiful. The individual kernels can be any color of the rainbow and beyond often having a star burst pattern.
"Bred to be the hardiest corn in the world, it is full of nutrition and has been used to help feed people stricken by famine. Developed by Dave Christensen from over 70 Native corn varieties many of which are now extinct. This corn can grow almost anywhere! The plants are short, averaging about 5ft and can be green or a wonderful magenta color.
"Often used as an ornamental, it is also great roasted, boiled as semi-sweet corn (at milk stage), used for hominy grits, or easily ground (you can use a clean coffee grinder or a vita-mix) into a nutritious flour for tortillas, corn bread, or griddle cakes."

Note that David Christensen bred this corn to thrive in the short growing season on his ranch in the mountains of Montana - that should give you an idea of its hardiness and ability to cope with cool weather.

This is the kind of heirloom edibles we should be growing, so I'm offering to share my precious pack of seeds with you.
This offer is for 15+ seeds - enough to grow a respectable small patch. You can save seeds for a huge patch (and to share) next season!
