Mrs Frugal Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I was almost too embarrassed to post this as Lesley gave me the plants when we went to visit her in the summer but I'm sure she'll have a good laugh when she sees the sweetcorn I produced this year.... I think the term is probably "Micro Corn" . Sorry Lesley, I'll try harder in future . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 The sweetcorn on the plants Lesley gave me is thriving. It is almost ready to be picked. YUM YUM! That's not made me feel any better, Martin . I was really hoping Lesley would come along and say that it was a mini variety and that's how they're supposed to look .

Egluntyne Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 My corn (All 8 cobs!) seems to be coming on OK, but I've peeped inside one and it is very pale, not the bright yellow I was expecting. Of course I can't find the seed packet, so I don't know if it is a pale variety or If I've done something wrong. Any ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Aw, I had some corn like that! Mine was over ages ago though! So it's all composting down nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Mine must have come from rogue seeds in the packet then . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
