Thanks JJB. More to consider!
The truth is - I'm not that keen on sweetcorn so have only ever grown it because I had the seeds! A kind of bung 'em in and hope for the best seed! I do, however, like the mini-corn for use in stirfries but I can see that they are a faff when you really want a big cob.
Time for a story!! We were in New York State at the time of 9/11, on a walking holiday and staying at a converted Shaker Mill in the middle of nowhere, until we were able to go to New York for our flight home. One evening, a local farmer came to visit, bringing with him a large suitcase packed with all sorts of sweetcorn that he grew on his farm. They were all sizes and colours and he told us all about their different merits and uses. We ate so much sweetcorn that night I think I was corned out for life!
