Bowman, On the sweet corn, I used to grow sugar buns, it is a little finicky with soil temps. It also does not get very tall, making the ears especially vulnerable to 'coons and skunks. But it has won many taste competitions.

One that I prefer now that does tolerate cooler soils and is very hardy all the way around is called Ambrosia (se) it is a bi-color also. Kandy Korn (se) is another tall and very hardy yellow corn. Any of the (su) type will do better planted early than the others, but the taste is not as good IMO.

I see nothing wrong with you apple trees, deer protection is key at that stage. My favorite late maturing apple is called a York, it ripens in october in my area and will stay good and crisp till january.
