Having checked the seed packet again it says to harvest them before the kernels form at approx 10cm long. But surely they wouldn't be ripe then? And the picture on the packet shows cobs with ripe kernels. I may have to investigate further.

Disappointing sweetcorn
These made great looking plants but the cobs are disappointing. They were supposedly meant to be "mini-corn" (Minipop F1 from Mr Fothergills) but are much the same size as normal corn and you can judge the quality for yourselves:

Sweetcorn
This has been going nuts this past couple of weeks, the plants are well over six feet tall and the cobs are coming along nicely. I reckon the red tassels look rather funky too.

Sweetcorn
I'm not all that keen on sweetcorn to be honest, all that faffing about chewing them off the cob isn't much my thing. And have you noticed how it seems to go right through you or is that just me? So anyway I thought I'd give these mini ones a try instead, bred to be eaten whole. Nothing ventured and all that.
