Should sweet corn be grown in a greenhouse or outside? The plants are in
growbags.

Thanks


We have acres of it growing in the Isle of Wight. Every year fields are
covered in polythene covering the rows of young plants, this is removed
when all trace of frost are gone.

Went by a field yesterday and they were watering it with huge sprays and
the plants are about 2 ft high in old money.

(Anyone coming to the Isle of Wight in the Spring and going along the
road from the Hare and Hounds to Brading, could be confused to think
that there are Lakes everywhere. No, fields of polythene. Fascinating to
see it laid and even more fascinating to see it 'rolled up' when lifting
it off)
