Late with sweetcorn?
« on: June 11, 2015, 20:50 »
First batch of sweetcorn which I sowed ages ago, rotted in pots.
Really wanted a crop this year so next packet, I chitted and all of them have sprouted  ;)
They are in pots now and showing green shoots.
Obviously the plan would have been to have them a good size by now and in the ground all prepared ready.
Am I a bit late for a crop or will they catch  up do you think?  :unsure:

Looking at all the corn around me that has suffered with the wind and cold (including mine) I would expect them to catch-up and overtake  :)
I cook therefore I grow

I think you've every chance. My plot sharer sowed hers outdoors a long while back. It's just poking up under the bottle cloches and is growing fast. Mine is 6 inches high, battered by the wind and sulking.
