Topic: my sweetcorn not good

Most due for the freezer. Couldn't eat all that in a day - & that's the time to eat it!  Blanch 4 mins & double wrap in clingfilm. But trying a few unblanched this year.

Cooking? In water.

Blimey Tim - that's a lot of corn! I reckon next year I'll be up to about 40, though tend to pick them in dribs and drabs because of when they're ready. And then try and get them into the freezer before hubby spots them... it's one veg he'll eat loads of! What variety did you grow?

Apart from those mentioned, Swift - which was swift - & should have been picked before the others. So, in the event, not up to standard.

Emma Jane, with regard to the Minipops, the tassels have started to appear.  We have harvested six cobs.  I know it may sound stupid, inas much as I have enjoyed mini sweetcorn from halfway round the globe, the flavour of the  home grown was soooo  superior, it was unbelievable!!

We are not going to get many more from the plants, but what we get will be well worth the effort of growing them.
