thanks Sinbad7, trying to contact North Lanarkshire council regarding it but hitting a brick wall at present (their website is rubbish!)

Cheers

Hi everyone, I'm a frequent lurker and finally registered today as this site has really friendly and helpful members from my lurking observations ;). I'll like to compliment Baronvon and his/ her success so far, gosh 5ft sweetcorn with more than one cob and in pots :o. I've grown regular size sweetcorn three times now and as yet have been unable to get the plants more than 2ft in height with only 1 cob per plant, and I'm in Kent ::). I refuse to give up though, role on 2009. :-\

One of the reasons for your success is the regular feeding which helps get good results from small pots as long as they never dry out.

I would be still inclined to put the corn in bigger pots, if only to stop them falling over!

I noticed recently a neighbours greenhouse full of roof-high tomatoes with all green fruit.

At the end on a shelf was the remaining plants, still in 3 inch pots, about 18 inches high and covered in ripe (smallish) tomatoes.

An accident that I am going to try next year.
