depends on what you need to know matey ,its to late now for sweetcorn ( maize corn) seeds in toilet rolls is a way of growing it in spring,april i think .plant out in well manured ground from last year s taters or cabage types . plant in blocks of maybe 12 by 12 plants ,2 ft between each plant .or 3ft if you want to plant pumkins or squashes . ( the three sisters growing plan) allow to grow feeding  sulphate of ammonia .or liquid manure and watering .use grease on the stems as soon as you can get it round them to prevent earwigs taking up home . cobs are ripe when the beard turns to a darker colour from white . dont allow them to go real black or dark as this will make them less palatable ... hope that covers it ... and im not the expert ,im just a bit luckier some times is al .there are others here who do loads better than myself .so take advice from all matey :wink:  :D
