In My Seed Box For 2027 - Sweetcorn

 

My daughter Kelly declared early on in my ownership of an allotment that all sweetcorn grown was hers. Historically we have had some great harvests and the two types of corn that I have grown between 2013 - 2019 have been Swift and Lark 

In 2019 Marshalls sent me Marshalls Alliance F1 Hybrid Sweetcorn were nothing more than spectacular (see photos of harvest here) and I have to say they were the best Sweetcorn that I have grown to date, Tyson F1 grown in 2021 were good but not as good as Alliance. 

I have a pack of  Sweet Corn Pot Of Gold F1 - Suttons - 20 Seeds - Cost £4.99 - Item Code 10 02 99 - that was Packed year ending 2023 and has a Sow By date of 2026. because of my DVT time in hospital and then leg ulcers they never got grown in 2026 

I will have to acquire some fresh seed for 2027 and sweetcorn will be grown on MIll Green Allotment. I will update this post once I have decided what variety to purchase
