Planting Advice:

Grow sweet corn in a spot that receives plenty of sunshine, in soil enriched with a lot of well-rotted organic matter.
Seeds may be sown directly outside once the soil has warmed up, the safest way to sow is into pots or trays,
Sowing two seeds to each module, 1 inch deep then removing the weakest of the two seedlings. They should germinate in 7 to 10 days.
Corn should be about 15 cm tall by the time you’re ready to plant them outside. Harden off the plants by leaving them outside for about a week.
Use a balanced fertilizer, spread evenly, and work it into the soil 3 to 4 inches deep.
Sweet corn is wind-pollinated, so instead of planting in a long row, set your plants out in a block for the highest chance of success. If the corn isn’t well pollinated, it will be missing many of the kernels from the cob.
Try to retain as much of the soil around the roots when transplanting. Plant sweet corn 18 cm apart in both directions.
Remove any weeds that pop up within your sweetcorn by hand and continue while you are still able to get between the plants
It appreciates watering in dry weather, as the silks appear and the cobs begin to form.
The cobs are ready to pick when the tassels at the end turn dark brown, usually around six weeks after first appearing.
