      I acquired some minipop seeds from seedswap on here and they all germinated.. and are about 2 ft high. looking great (I put lots of manure on the patch they are planted in, so don't know if it is helping) Fingers crossed X they will do OK>

          Mine are about 2' high. Seem happy enough, though it's the first time I've ever grown corn and just the fact that it germinated and I was able to plant it out was enough.

                  Mine are about 2 foot high. They've really come on these last couple of weeks.

                        5 foot 3 inches for the biggest ones. I started these off in about March time and have fed them bone meal (but only twice).

                            Well I had a wee experiment to myself (as you do!), 3 lots just to see how they would do, ones in the tunnel pathetic, waste of space
                            ones outside at the plot doing better (lord knows how)
                            ones in the gh at home fantastic, 4 foot high big fat cobs developing, well chuffed,ones at home are prelude variety, ones at plot are supersweet. I will see if my camera is playing nicely with the pc and try to post a pic

                            Done, David Bailey I am not, nor could I figure out how to put them at the end of the post rather than at the beginning, hey ho

                              Our sweetcorn's not bad; about 2 1/2 feet high and okay-ish cobs forming on most. Looking at my photographs from last year, they are a full month 'behind' though. I think they'll be ok, but it's such a poor year for most things, trying to brace myself for something going wrong!
