Hi
Just a quick question, is it too late to sow sweetcorn?
Thank you in advance.

Quick answer; no, not at all!  :)

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Mine have only just come through, what I would suggest is to chit them first in the airing cupboard, this way they will germinate quickly and you will also see which ones would have failed.

Agree
 I chitted some last week and put them in pots on sunday so I can put them into the winter onion bed when they come out next month.
I put mine into 500g Yogurt pots (about 4in) and will move them to the cold frame 1st week in June.

I sowed my last batch around 7th June last year, and that ripened in mid- (maybe late-) September from memory.
