• Likes good drainage and enough humus to prevent drying out too quickly
• Sow undercover in spring in 7cm pots 2.5cm deep at a minimum temperature of 10°C and harden off before planting out
• Spacing 30cm between both plants and rows, plant in blocks to aid pollination
• Mulch any roots that appear to help retain moisture
• Each plant will produce 1-2 cobs, test for ripeness when the silks have turned dark brown. Squeeze the grains, a creamy liquid will appear when fully ripe
