sweetcorn

[adamhartree]

hi all, when do you start sowing your sweetcorn in a greenhouse, ive been told the begginging of june but i thought it was earlier than that. cant wait to start growing them again.

I generally start mine off early-mid April - sown in loo roll tubes and left in the greenhouse. The plan then is that they're ready to plant out in the raised beds by the start of June.

Mine take 3 weeks from sowing to planting out. So 3 weeks before last frost / plant out date would be my suggestion.

first lot went in on march 1st
second lot went in last weekend

same as last year and i had a great crop

I'm gonna copy you and sow some sweetcorn now, in propagator.

Can always sow more later if the frost gets them.

btw, pies, do you mean you put kernals in the ground or you started them indoors?

they are in rootrainers in a heated greenhouse my plants are well established when they go out
