Question about Sweetcorn.

You might get 2 per plant, but I only seem to manage one.

Thanks Capsid. Maybe not worth it for this year then - you've seen the size of my beds LOL.

Sweetcorn plants usually produce 2 - 3 cobs per plant.

There should be 2 or 3 cobs on each plant

Hmmmm - I'll have to have a think about it. Actually, as it's only me who eats it, I guess 6 plants would be enough.

Try it RAW within seconds of picking and without butter.............it's the only way I eat mine!

I've only ever got one cob off each plant.

I think it depends on where you are and your growing conditions. I only get one decent one per plant - and maybe a couple will have a smaller cob too. When I were a lass (cue violins!) it was only one year in 3 you'd get a crop at all from corn. Better varieties, global whatsit etc. and we can all get something. But here on the East Coast it's not a high yielder.
