Sweetcorn

[cariann88]

Does my sweetcorn look okay?

[Bex]

Do you feed it? I've never grown it I a container. Are cobs forming?

Carianne, I think your sweetcorn has had it. Could be wrong though. I can definitely see too many plants in too small a place though. I would have only put three in they space I think.

Can't see any cobs, if they haven't formed now I think it is too late. Next year, fewer plants and regular feeding should improve things.

I've got one cob forming.



Next year I won't put as many in.(still learning)

a good feed is all I can suggest but as Wendy says I think I might be a little late for this year.

I'll just get rid of the ones that's got nothing on. Just leave the one that's got a cob and see how it gets on.

Don't give up Carianne, re think your planting of them next year and you will have lovely juicy golden corn cobs, promise

I think it can be done, I planted 7 in a 30litre pot and they have done really well.

They all grew to 7 foot tall, they only have 1 cob each but they are nearly ready to harvest.

This is a picture of them a few weeks ago

I water them every day - lots, give them a liquid feed once a week and I also give all my stuff a seaweed foliar spray every week.
