Sweetcorn Planting Pointers Anyone?
« on: June 02, 2008, 19:47 »
I know I'm a little late but I've a couple of packs of sweetcorn seed sitting here next to me.

Any tips on how to get them going in a hurry? Any point in soaking overnight?
Good beer, good BBQ and good friends.

You can sow them outdoors or chit them.

Soaking made a day or two difference with mine, so that the ones I sowed as an afterthought sprouted at the same time as the rest.
I demand the right to buy seed of varieties that are not "distinct, uniform and stable".

Sow\Plant them in blocks rather than rows to help pollination.
Are you looking for an allotment (full or to share) in South East Sheffield. PM me for details.

i have a seed sprouter, for sprouting mung beans to grow beansprouts to eat in salad, or stir fries, i have used that to chit them. i soaked them overnight and then after that rinsed them twice a day. They are chitting really well, and about 5mm long now, i only started them a few days ago.
