  • Chitted Sweetcorn Queries

    Hi All - couple of queries (yup, just a couple this time! ).

    Following on from the sweetcorn chitting thread by womble (I think it was?) I placed some on some loo roll sheets (don't use kitchen roll), boiling water - seeds on, clingfilmed.

    Put it in the airing cupboard for a day, after nothing happened in 2 days with it on the kitchen windowsil.

    Most have chitted fine - some decent roots on them however, I've noticed that there's some mold spores from the loo roll paper, some spores have covered the seeds.

    1) I know mould on compost/loo roll inners is ok - but just wanted to check this is ok?

    2) Also, can I plonk these directly in the ground, or would it be better to grow on in loo roll holders first, and then once established place out in the sweetcorn bed?

    The mould spores shouldn't do any harm, and it's entirely up to you whether you plant them or in pots or straight onto the plot. Personally I sow mine into cell trays and then put out on the plot when they are around 4 - 5 inches high.
