Any clues!!?? Plant how? Densley, Sparsley ? or is that parsley?

Start off in pots, end March, early April.  Plant out end of May in a block formation.  Most sweetcorn seeds come with about 36 in a pack so go for 6 x 6.

Plant about 15" apart.

Enjoy from September onwards.

Important thing is SINGLY is pots as they hate root disturbance. Have a search for Richy's paper pots for a cheap method, or use loo roll centres.

Recommended spacing is 18" between plants.

Cheers DD,18mths  or so on this site, already tried the  loo/roll method, for variours things , ie beans and carrots-pasnips, so far so gooo----d paper wrapped around ect.
Believe' Me 'It works. So do I do the same --similar  thing  for sweetcorn, or just  shove 'em in the ground? I await your reply.

Start them off inside - not too hot or they will get drawn. I use a greenhouse with just enough heat to keep the frost off.

They are then hardened off for planting to final position for after the final frost. (A guess this!).
