A block of 6 x 5 would have been much better.

They need to be planted in blocks, so they can be wind pollinated more easily. I do a block of 12 plants, 4 on each row

I planted in a block.  I'll give them a shake at pollen time this year.

Just give 'em one of your stares, Ice, that'll be enough to make them quiver¬

I have feelings you know.

Mainly in your water!

I had this problem last year even though I grew in blocks, this year I will grow them closer together and give them a good shake at pollination.

Ice is laughing at me, not you Rachael - don't be offended!

How far apart did you plant them? I go for the regulation 18".

[Ice]

I have tubble triping.

I have come home from my course and there's a jar in the green house with sweetcorns chitting in it with papaer towel's all damp and stuff my BH has found a way of doing the chittig on the web and trying it. the seed's we planted in the green house into the trays have not taken yet. hoping this chitting way work this time.

My seeds were yellow, like dried sweetcorn (chitted and planted now) but you are all saying blocks and rows... what about those of us without much space nor allotment?

What shall I do with my 7 little babies?

[Elcie]

I know they need to go in blocks and I have some 3ft x 3ft beds.  Should I aim or 9 (3x3) or 16 (4x4) in each of these beds?

[DD.]

I'd try & squeeze in 4 x 4, I know quite a few who use less spacing then 18" & get away with it! It's 7 extra plants afterall!
