Plant sweetcorn
All the juicy sweetness in corn cobs is lost if you don't eat them within (literally) minutes of harvesting - so you really will only ever experience sweetcorn as it should be when you grow your own. All they need for success is sun and moisture, and you'll soon enjoy statuesque plants heavy with cobs.
