SWEET CORN : SWEETCORN : SWIFT - F1

Today (21/04) I have sown my 
Sweetcorn " SWIFT " F1

I grew this variety last year and had a very 

good crop of sweet, tender sweetcorn. 

Many of which I put down in the freezer

and still have a few of them left but

will soon be eaten.

~~~~~~~~ 

 "SWIFT " F1  One of the best tasting Sweetcorn I have tasted.

~~~~~~~~ 

An early maturing, super sweet and

tender sweet corn with a delicious flavour. 

Perfect on more exposed sites with a compact 

dwarf habit and improved performance 

in cooler UK soils. Produces 2-3 cobs per plant. 

(21cm – 8” in length). Ready August.

• Make sure 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 18in between plants and 18in between rows.
• Sweet corn must be planted in blocks, not as a single row to ensure good pollination.
• Cover any roots that appear at the base with mulch or old compost to retain moisture.
• Do not allow the crop to dry out during hot weather whilst flowering.
• Each plant will produce 1-2 cobs, test for ripeness when the silks have turned chocolate brown.
• A creamy liquid should come from the grains when squeezed, when fully ripe.
