Sowing & Growing

Ensure the chosen growing location exhibits proper drainage and sufficient humus content to prevent rapid drying of the soil. For an early crop, sow sweet corn in early spring under cover, using 3-inch pots and planting 1 inch deep. Maintain a minimum temperature of 10°C, as warmth enhances germination rates. Prior to planting out, harden off the seedlings. Alternatively, sow the seeds directly outside in late spring, leaving 18 inches between plants and rows. It's crucial to plant sweet corn in blocks, not as a single row, to ensure effective pollination. Cover any emerging roots at the base with mulch or old compost to retain moisture. During hot weather and flowering, prevent the crop from drying out. Each plant typically yields 1-2 cobs; assess ripeness by checking for chocolate brown silks. When fully ripe, a creamy liquid should be expressed when squeezing the grains.
