The first time I planted popcorn, I just bought a big bag of unpopped popcorn (NOT mocrowave), soaked it in water overnight, then planted it as one would sweet corn. Followed my Dad's instructions once it sprang up. Had a buttery taste to it once popped without adding butter, popped it in oil. A funny story, I was talking with a patient about growing popcorn, when one of my co-workers heard what we were talking about....... she said, "You mean you can GROW popcorn?!" We asked her, "Where do you think it comes from?" Yep, and she claimed to be a country girl.
