How did your sweetcorn perform this year?

Very pleased with my Incredible F1 - they didn't reach the 8' height claimed for them, averaging around 6' or so, but most plants produced 2 excellent pale yellow cobs, which is a better yield than for many years for me. First ones were picked in late August, again very unusual for me here.

Don't know how much the variety made a difference because this summer was unusually sweetcorn-friendly, and with any variety I always get the feeling they could have done even better - ignoring the tillers most of them produced 3 female flowers, but the male flowers had run out of ammunition by the time they appeared.

Staggering the sowing and planting may have helped with that, although the last time I tried that needless to say it was a duff summer and I had a long wait before getting anything from them at all!

Not sure what to do next year - being taller plants they may struggle in a poor summer so I may go back to Swift to be on the safe side. 

My outdoor Incredible were a lot longer into forming cobs as compared to my GH ones. They were good but not fully pollinated - don't know why.

Not bad this year.  I grew Special Swiss from Real Seeds.  Getting 1 or 2 cobs on each plant, with pretty well formed and pollinated cobs and nice flavour.    It did take quite a few seeds to get sufficient numbers germinated at the beginning though.

Incredible F1 - thought they were never going to ripen - but htey have in the last week or thereabouts. Had a humungous cob raw on the plot earlier and it were lubberly... Only getting a couple of cobs per plant but at least I'm cropping...

Cheers,

Best ever crop from Incredible F1 that was harvested a two or three weeks ago. I protected them when I planted them out in late May with plastic cloches to keep the wind off and they seemed to get a good start. managed to protect the cobs from the mice with socks which worked well and harvested two good cobs from each plant. I've cooked some and stripped from the cob to freeze which is very easy out of the freezer. I've also blanched some whole cobs with the covering leaves and frozen those although haven't tried them yet. The fresh ones were superb

Lark gave 2 full cobs per plant, and even the occasional 3rd half pollinated cob - so it's been a good year for sweetcorn here, as well 

Snap!!! Lark gave us the best sweetcorn I have ever tasted and some even got eaten raw at the plot. Two good cobs per plant 

Sadly the later cobs were demolished by the rats before I could pick them... lesson to be learned there about not leaving ripe corn for them to sniff out next year.

First year I've grown Lark, and I was pleased to get 2 cobs per plant.  For those that have grown it before is that the Norm?, or unusual?

Two or 3 usual and because I shake them most of the Second were fully populated with corn as well - Only about 3 were not - Not many 3rd made it to maturity but next year I'm going to get the pollen on my hands and apply to the tassels as well as shake.
