Sweetcorn "Incredible"

[freefolk]

We had a block of 35 sweetcorn "Incredible" here in Hampshire. Had a wonderful crop, with 2 cobs per plant. Attached a photo of some harvested today (to share with neighbours!). Absolutely wonderful taste! Would highly recommend these.

A very nice looking crop. You should be pleased

cobs look amazing!

Brilliant. Congratulations. You're going to be popular with your neighbours, that's for sure.

I grew that a few years ago and it did taste very good - but I had a lot of tassel ears ( cobs that grew tassels, instead of silks, and cobs growing from the tassels at the top - weird!)
I don't know if I was just unlucky, or if that variety is prone to that problem, so haven't grown it since.

Those look fantastic!
Well done!

Looks great, well done. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try some next year. I love sweetcorn straight from the plant eaten raw.

I too have had my best year yet with sweetcorn. Most of my allotment neighbours lost all or part of
their crop to badgers. (I did lose 2 plants very early on to rats) Some said I was lucky not to have lost mine. However luck had nothing to do with it. 2 layers of wire netting surrounds, 2 old metal fire guards, flagstones bricks poles and ties and small sections of wire path edging did! It looked like an outside view of Colditz .Oh and I've raised beds too.. an enormous help as the blighters can't easily dig underneath.
As my foot and calf were in plaster early on I couldn't cultivate my own sweetcorn this year so bought some at a plant fair. Sadly she couldn't recall the name. It's been fabulous, great big perfect sweet cobs,some 2 to a stem.
QUESTION... How do I grow from this years kernels. Do I just let one dry on its plant ??? Then harvest the kernels.

Yep, Very luck

What type are your corn? If they're Incredible as well then that's an F1 hybrid so it won't grow the same from self saved seeds. To save them just let them dry on the plant.
