Description
Sow indoors from AprilMay, 2-3 seeds per pot, 5cm deep.
Keep at 18-20c and germination will occur in 7-10 days.
Alternatively, sow directly outdoors in late May or early June once the soil has warmed.
Harden off indoor-grown plants before transplanting.
Plant sweetcorn in blocks rather than rows (for better wind pollination), spacing plants 40cm apart.
Choose a sunny, sheltered position.
Water regularly, especially during dry spells and when tassels and cobs are forming.
Feed every 2-3 weeks once the cobs begin to develop.
Earth up soil around the base of the stems to improve stability.
Harvest when the silks turn brown.
