Charles, is it worth saving seed from Sweet Corn for next year? I grew it for the first time this year and grew Early Bird. I found it one of the more satisfying crops to grow as it had no holes in it and didn’t get smothered in aphids unlike all of my brassicas.
This year we sailed along enjoying the Sweet Corn, didn’t pick for a few days and when I went back to it found that the remaining 10 cobs had started to dry and were all passed their best and not good to eat.I only need around 20 plants for 2 of us so would you recommend staggering the sowing bearing in mind the need for wind pollination.
I notice that there are many people still harvesting but mine went over a few weeks ago.
What time frame do you recommend if staggered sowing is a good option?
