Hope not just sowed mine last weekend  :-\

Eh! Ceri, (that's my sisters name) have you ever tried eating them raw straight off the plant?

I haven't started mine of at all yet - it's my b'day this weekend and I'm hoping for lots of gardening vouchers to stock up on potting compost, plastic greenhouses and the like with!  Got to start beans, peas, corn, the whole lot!!! ; ::)

I haven't started mine yet. Are you all being impatient? My seed packet says to sow mid April onwards.

I got two cobs off a few plants. All mine had two flowers, but they didn't all pollinate properly.

I have 20 on the go but this weekend I'm putting another lot in. Last year they got to a foot high then I was told a rule on the plot is 'No Corn'. Later I saw some peeps had corn growing, this year my plot gets corn....Umph!

I'm with you, aquilegia - at least "oop north"!

All best - Gavin

Just planted my Sweetcorn seeds this morning - Kelvedon Glory.
I had 60 plants last year and ate every single corn, so this year I have planted 120 seeds, with the intention of growing 100 plants. I may have to plant a few extra seeds later on, but they are definitely worth it, and would easily be on my top ten list of allotment produce.
