SOW INDOORS – APRIL TO MAY

HARVESTS – AUGUST TO SEPTEMBER

For a head start, sow indoors initially. Fill a seed tray with seed sowing compost nearly to the top. Sprinkle the seeds over the surface and cover with a thin sprinkling of seed compost (approx 1/2 inch). Place in a light, warm space in 18-25°C (64-77°F). Make sure there is plenty of light and drainage for the pots.

When seedlings are large enough to handle (between 2-4cm usually), they’re ready to be transferred into larger pots (8cm). Grow on in cooler conditions. When danger of frost has passed, gradually harden off when planting outdoors to a well drained, sunny position spacing plants 45cm apart.

Cobs are ready to harvest when the end tassels turn brown.
