Good morning everyone,

A crackin' show of sweetcorn, and I've forgotten which variety! ::)

Cheers,  Tony.

There is one I grew a few years ago which was a very tall one but I can't remember its name. The tops were poking out of my greenhouse ventilation windows!  :nowink:

I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

There are quite a few cobs of large proportions!  I'm not going to do as I usualy do and grab them when the silks turn brown, I'm going to leave them for a few days to see if the topmost cernals fill out.

Cheers,  Tony ::)
