Story: an incredibly successful variety of sweetcorn, sativa late has huge cobs, with great pollination, and its sturdy plants did not fall over in the wind. It tastes lovely, even raw! OmVed’s holistic gardener Vicky is very proud. 

Sow: sow indoors from mid-April to early May in modules or deep pots. Sow directly outdoors when temperatures are regularly over 10 degrees.

Requirements: really rich soil, regular feeding and watering. 

Harvesting: test for ripeness when the tassels have turned chocolate brown! Peel back a bit to see if kernels are formed, then pick and eat!
