 | Sweetcorn is easy to grow. Sow in April with protection, or in May in the open, growing in a block rather than rows to ensure good pollination. Harvest from July to October, (when the ‘tassels’ turn dark brown) depending on the season and variety. There are three distinct levels of sweetness - ‘normal’, ‘sugar-enhanced’ and ‘super sweet’ (which need to be grown at least 8 metres away from other varieties) . For the sweetest, juiciest flavour, cook immediately after picking. |
