Sowing Time
Indoors: March - April
Outdoors: May
Sowing Indoors
Sow seeds individually in small pots of moist seed compost 1cm (1/2in) deep. Place in the warmth 15-18 degrees Celsuis (60-65 Fahrenheit). Grow on under cool, light conditions, but not in direct sunlight. Gradually accustom young plants to conditions outside 2-3 weeks before planting out to their cropping positions when danger of frost has passted. To ensure good pollination, plant in blocks, allowing 45cm (18in) each way between plants.
Sowing Outdoors
Water sowing positions well, then sow two seeds 2cm (1in) deep at stations 45cm (18in) apart each way. Keep soil moist until seedlings are well established. When seedlings are around 8cm (3in) high, discard the weaker at each station and leave the stronger to develop. Do not transplant weaker seedlings - they do not thrive.
Harvest
August - September, when the silks on the cob turn brown.
