Stowell's Evergreen Sweetcorn

Zea mays

Story: a successful variety of sweetcorn in an otherwise challenging year, Stowell's evergreen has large cobs, with good pollination, and tastes lovely. 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.
