I didn't get around to sowing Sweet corn until the very end of May this year. I went with a mix of varieties plus mixes I've already grown. I'm looking for a nice balanced mix with good range of colours although predominately reds. I'd like to see some bi and multi coloured cobs also. Looking to retain flavour while favouring se type plants and as these are all coming from a late sowing, they will have to be early to mid maturing to have a chance of producing and ripening seed.
Progress has been seemed awfully slow and the plants still look so small I'm wondering whether I'm growing a compost crop!
8th June, poor germination for some of the longer stored types.

Freshly transplanted 22nd June and looking very pathetic and sad!

Progress 15th July. I've tried where possible to plant alternate rows with reds then coloureds and yellows to get a good chance of mixing up the genes.
