Is it safe to put sweet corn out

[shona_b]

I have only just put my 6 out - they look so tiny but needs must. I have put some old shower screens round them as a windbreak so fingers crossed! I have to get the rest of the plants currently sheltering at home onto the allotment this week as I am working away for 2 weeks and they should be in and thriving by now!

Mine are still in the gh as I planted them late. Now not sure if I want to plant them out after I read that the badgers love sweetcorn!

Mine went out Sunday, fingers crossed they will be ok or else I can see a trip to the garden centre to pick up some plugs.

Possible heatwave in 7 days time heard it here first.

Mine went out last night at about 2130hrs!!!

Mine are in the GH. Still got to create a suitable area for them ASAP. Having said that, we've had gales, torrential rain and cold here so probably not a bad thing.

I wondered why my sweetcorn plants were stunted last year, I had them positioned with hardly and wind protection at all. Will need to relocate homes for them shortly, thanks for the info.

Mine are in the greenhouse too. I am only doing minipop this year, they were fab last year and harvest sooner than the normal sweetcorn. Helpful to know about the wind, I will have to work out how to get some windbreaks sorted, but will prob cloche first for a week until the heatwave..... yeah, hope it appears!

If the ground is not too wet this morning I'll be putting mine out today or tomorrow - just in time for that heatwave!

Put mine out the other day in nice sunny weather, woke up this morning to strong winds and torrential rain, I envisage they will struggle.

Ahhh I wish I knew about thr wind. I think it killed off loads my seedlings when they were getting hardened off as it was pretty damn windy. Mine are a few inches bigger now and went out on Tuesday morning but they are not particularly sheltered.,.i won't be able to tend to them until next Thursday as I'm away fingers crossed!!!

Gutting if you lose them I replanted some beans that I lost to the wind

I have reported mine as we just had a bout of hard winds so still safely in the green house might have to make a bodged wind break

4 in the poly are going great guns, nearly 2 feet high. They're meant to give us something to gnaw on whilst the outdoor ones are catching up....but they're still in their pots in the poly, albeit they're a good 6 inches high. They're gonna have to take their chance with the courgettes and runner beans this weekend as they're all starting to get potbound and look a bit sickly.

Mine have been out 2 weeks as well but are now seemingly as good as dead, gone from bright green to pale yellow mostly. I just ran out of space and bigger pots to keep them ;/
