WHERE TO SOW:

Early sowings can be made in modules or peat pots under glass at 21°C. Later sowings can be made outside in blocks with 45cm between plants.

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

Module or peat pot raised seedlings should be transplanted when all chance of frost has passed. Do not sow in rows but in blocks 45cm square to aid the pollination by wind. Cobs are ready when the tassels turn brown.

HANDY TIP:   Instead of boiling cobs try brushing with melted butter or olive oil and gently cooking on a barbecue, turning frequently –delicious!

NUTRITIONAL VALUE:   A good source of pro-vitamin A, vitamins B and C. Gluten-free and a good supply of fibre and protein.
