Cultivation advice Miniture Sweet Corn Sweetcorn Minipop F1

• Ensure the growing location has good drainage and enough humus to ensure the ground will not dry too quickly.
• Sow in early spring under cover in 3in pots 1in deep for the earliest crop at a minimum temp of 50F, warmth will aid germination rates.  Harden off before planting out.  Alternatively sow directly outside in late spring allowing 12in between plants and 12in between rows.
• Do not allow the crop to dry out during hot weather whilst flowering.
• Harvest when tassels just show.
• Pick before fertilization occurs when silks start to show.
• As cropping is intense, feed soils each growing season with slow release fertilizer.
