I have some of the baby sweetcorn plants ready to go out shortly.  I've never grown it before - does it grow as tall as normal corn?  I'm wondering about growing with my BNS.  Also do they grow with silks like big sweetcorn???  Thanks

I grew baby sweetcorn last year.  They grew to about 5ft tall.  When the silks start to show, that's when you pick them.

Thanks - hadn't thought about when to pick them so glad you said as I would have waited for silks to go brown!  :-\

Mine grew to about 8 ft and produced tons of mini-cobs- 'Minipops' variety.

Sorry to hijack thread but was wondering....Im growing some of the minipop variety in pots & hardening off in plastic greenhouse before planting out on lottie. Do they need to be given support with canes?
Thanks
