One thing that link fails to mention is that rats and mice will know when the cobs are ready and will get to them first if you are not careful. -- Regards. Bob Hobden.

Filippo, I'll send this to a friend who lives in Italy to see if they can help you.

Mild, but very exposed to salt gales thanks for the link I asked an American friend who has lived in Italy for many years for her advice and she replied: "If he means edible sweet corn, he needs to find the right seed. The directions will be on the packet, but it is important to plant a block, not a single long row, because otherwise it can't pollinate. Then as it starts to grow, you need to hill the soil up a bit, eventually reaching about 20-22 cm. The next hurdle for an Italian is picking it young and not letting it get mature and starchy. This my neighbors never get. Start checking by cracking a small portion of the husks just when the silks start going brown at the end, and don't let it get all the way brown." -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
