Default Sweetcorn

Thank you for your post. I planted another 5 corns as tests a few days ago
and have managed to get 4 of the 5 to germinate. I got a little white shot
just poking out of the dirt so fingers crossed I can sample fresh sweetcorn
straight from the garden this year.

I have grown sweetcord for a number of years and seem to have increasing
difficulty in making the seeds germinate. This year only 10 have germinated
out of 23 pots. If they are going to germinate they usually do in about a
week so I would get rid of your present pots and start again.
Best of luck sweetcorn straight from the garden is wonderful.

Good Morning All

I am trying to grow some sweetcorn and have put 6 corns in pots inside a
propagator about one month ago and they do not seem to be doing anything.
Has anyone ever tried to grow sweetcorn? How long does it take to
germinate usually? I have tried to look online but I can not seem to
find anything on sweetcorn germinatation.

Am debating just chucking the ones I have planted and trying some new
seeds.

Thank you
Donna
