Sweetcorn
From Allotments4All
Sow them around the end of March, depending on where you are. Sow in root trainers or loo roll inners as they do not like root disturbance when planted out.
When planting out space them about 12" apart when frosts are past and in blocks, not single rows and earth up the stems as they grow upwards. Feed with something like grow more or fish blood and bone and they like an open sunny site.
When the plants are in flower, the very top of the plant, you need to ensure the cobs silks get polinated. This normally done by wind but you can help by shaking the plants from time to time to release the pollen.
