Duff sweetcorn.

You know the pithy statement, "Smile, things could be worse, so I smiled and yep they got worse".

I sent a letter of complaint about bad germination of Lark F1 sweetcorn seeds to Mr Fothergills.  About seven or so germinated and  I included photographic evidence. Two packets of 'Lark F1' Were returned.  Out of fourty seeds of the returned packets only one has germinated.

So I'm trying a packet of sweetcorn I brought back from Greece, I won't try and write down the variety as it is in Greek!  But it's from the Primasem Seeds Company It looks like KAVAMNOKITAYKO, the 'V' is inverted and the 'T' has the top left segment missing.  Anyone out there read Greek?

I've found the 'duff' seeds and there is no sign of rot or softening.

I'll report how these get on.

Cheers,  Tony.

Sounds like Kilimanjaro, in which case better get some ladders when they need harvesting!
