poorly sweetcorn

I just wish mine would germinate!  When they have they've rotted off at the bottom, and I only mist them rather than water them.  Really bad luck with them this year.

have you not tried chitting the seeds first?  Really easy - a plastic tub (with lid or put inside a plastic bag), damp paper towelling, seeds on top, seal and put the whole thing somewhere warm like an airing cupboard or on top of a computer.  2-4 days later, you should have nearly 100% germination, then just pop them into pots of compost -handle the seed not the root or shoot, and do may sure the root points down if you can.  May I suggest you lightly water the compost rather than spray the plants as that is the quickest way for damping off and other rots.

BabbyAnn, I always chit as you suggest, but return rate has been poor this year.  My friends who have the same variety also say the same (snobaby).  I think the quality of the seeds was poor.  They didn't 'look' right, if you know what I mean!

Thanks everyone il put up some protection and give them a feed fingers crossed iv got a second sowing in greenhouse just gone in so if all else fails iv got back up
