Sweetcorn
ORDER NOW NOW FOR DELIVERY IN MAY 2012
Sunny yellow, succulent and attractive, growing and picking your own sweetcorn and eating it within the hour ensures that 22% of the nutrients are still active and the taste is at its best!
So, one of the big advantages of growing this vegetable yourself is that sweetcorn which is more than an hour old has already lost much of its goodness. Sugar in the pods changes to starch after that, reducing the quality of the vitamins as well as the taste!
Sweetcorn is wind pollinated so plant them in a block in a large, deep container. Use the space below to plant other produce.
Find a warm, sunny spot and remember to water carefully.
