Hi
    I planted f1incredible sweetcorn, i started them off in the greenhouse to give them a good start,or so i thought.
    At the moment they are a reasonable size not brilliant,but they are still mainly white inside .I don't think they'll ripen before the weather turns cold
    Has anybody else had any problems or knows whats gone wrong

Thanks carl

Never had a problem with Sweetcorn until this year.

With the weather a little warm still I was just going to leave and see what happens. I tried a couple of cobs but not much on them as previous years.

Thanks for the reminder, my second cobs are still on the plants.   I'm trying to get them to dry off a bit and see igf I can save them for next year.  (Or make wine)      I'll leave them untill this Indian  Summer is over.     Cheers,    Tony.

I expected my second batch of sweetcorn to catch up the first as they were only planted out two weeks apart, but they didn't, although they have grown to their "proper" size and are therefore a foot taller than the earlier ones (seems like sweetcorn never really fully recovers from a sulk!)

Looks like there are some good sized cobs on them too, so this warm spell has come just in time. I agree though that this is all incredibly late even for up here.

Picked my first three today cobs seem OK, plants are half the size they should be. Rest of them are struggling a bit.

My sweetcorn is a disaster this year, Not pollinated very much. Didn't grow well at all. Even the squirrels won't steal it..

my early corn, sulked a bit but were looking wonderful, until a week before i harvested them, but something decided to eat half of each cob before i got to them ....not sure if it was mice/rats or squirrels....regardless, i lost 36 plants with 2 cobs on each plant.

my second batch were a month behind, and although they didnt feel ripe i harvested 10 cobs before they got eaten by somthing else and they tasted lovely.  Not as big and juicy as previous years but still really good.

Sweetcorn is my favourite thing to grow so this year was a big disappointment, but not because of the weather....just pests!

Give your crops a good water and hopefully after this week of warm weather, you will be enjoing them shortly
