Getting worried about my sweet corn
« on: May 30, 2013, 09:14 »
Morning all,

I had a look at my sweet corn this morning as I need to start hardening them off and I've noticed that they're not doing so well  :(





Any idea what is causing this and if there's anyway I ca save them?

Cheers
Jim

Sunburn (  :lol: ), damage where they've been knocked, could be a number of things.

Overall though, they look quite healthy and as long as the growing centre is, I wouldn't worry. I'd hardly give them a second look if they were mine.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Mine stopped growing well over a month ago and haven't picked up since, yours look taller and better than mine.

I ordered more seeds as I doubt very much mine will pick up.

The soil looks a bit wet to me.  Make sure they are not getting drenched by the rain.  But if they are not outside being hardened off yet don't over water them.

Thanks guys.

I watered them before putting them out, in the rain - oops  :D

They don't like too much wetness.  I do think Dave is right about sun burn though.
