We Grew Sweetcorn!

Last Spring we planted just two tiny little sweetcorn kernels as a bit of an experiment. Everyone told us (even the books) that you have to grow a block of at least 9 plants to get any produce but it turns out they were wrong.



On Sunday afternoon we picked 3 cobs of sweetcorn from a pot in our little back yard, almost 6ft tall plants, but didn't expect them to be developed much inside but they were - how exciting!
I think we will try a block of them on the allotment next year, they were delicious and extremely low maintenance.

  2. Oh well done, we grew sweetcorn but although we have lots of leaves, there is no actual corn!

  3. How fun! I haven't tried corn yet. So far the tomatoes have died of blight but the pumpkins are doing very well indeed.
