How to Grow Fothergills Oh Sow Simple Sweet Corn:

  1. Prepare the Soil:
    Sweet corn prefers well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Choose a sunny spot that receives full sunlight for at least 6 hours per day. Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to ensure a healthy crop.

  2. Sow the Seeds:
    Sow seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost or directly into the soil once the soil temperature reaches 16°C. Plant the seeds 2.5 cm deep, spaced around 20 cm apart in rows, with each row spaced 45 cm apart.

  3. Transplant the Seedlings:
    If sowing indoors, harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions for a few days before transplanting them into the garden after the last frost. Space the seedlings about 30 cm apart in blocks, which helps with pollination.

  4. Water Regularly:
    Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Corn is a thirsty plant, so regular watering is essential for strong, healthy growth. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the leaves and promoting fungal diseases.

  5. Harvest:
    Sweet corn is typically ready to harvest 12-14 weeks after sowing when the husks are green and the kernels are plump and milky. Pick the cobs in the early morning for the best flavour and texture.

Fothergills Oh Sow Simple Sweet Corn is the ideal variety for gardeners looking to grow fresh, sweet corn with minimal effort. Whether you're a beginner or experienced gardener, this high-yielding, easy-to-grow crop will provide you with a delicious harvest perfect for summer meals.
