Right! That's it! I'm going to get some more on the way home and sow them before I get in and get lost in the sofa.

Anyone else planted their sweetcorn?

Defo not alot of people only just sow them now onwards. I plant them early as my plot isnt the best for the sun so need to squeeze my season as much as poss.
BTW the ones I planted out early as per this thread are doing fantastic. Over a foot I reckon which is no mean feat since they only get 3-4hrs sun this early in year (darn trees shading my plot). Did have a few cold nights straight after I planted them but it didnt bother them at all. Happy me

Mine will go out in a prepared bed under fleece or plastic next week. They are about 3 inches tall now and are starting to get potbound!

Aye, same here Snadge. I've had terrible results for the last 3 seasons with my corn, so it's had an early start this year. They've been hardening off for the last week, and hopefully I'll have a bed ready for them to go in by next week... I have cloche hoops and fleece on standby!

Mine is now outside but I've built a makeshift glass cold frame over them. They were put out a couple of days ago and already appear to be romping away! 35 plants should be enough as there's only me in the family who likes em and I only like em raw within minutes of picking!
