I have a few little sweetcorn seedlings coming along, one question, one seedling/plant = how many ears of corn?

Cobs..'ears' are wheat/barley etc. Two or three on average

Oops, of course, cobs, doh!

I planted 25 and have them sitting on a windowsill, only 2 have come up so far, fingers crossed for some more then.

Don't over water them and rot the seed they'll be along soon...Yummy yum yum.

We grow F1 Applause and get 2 cobs per plant.
It will depend on the variety you have though.

F1 Sundance.

I only get one cob per plant - occasionally a second but it's a little weak thing if it occurs at all. Last year's crop was pathetic (too cold and wet for corn)

Could I just poke my nose in here and ask how many cobs per plant I can expect on Minipop? Also, I guess I don't wait for tassels to turn brown on those so how do you know when to harvest? Sorry for the dim questions

Treat yourself......eat some raw- straight off the plant and in your mouth, pure summer bliss!!!

I got 3 or 4 cobs per plant last year, can't remember what type but was quite pleased as they were only pretty short plants.
