Sweet Corn Minipop F1 (50 seed Pack)


Available from 30/09/2020 until 30/11/2020

£1.80 / pack(s)

Pick the Minipop when the mini cobs are about 10cm, when the tassels are just showing from the ends of the corn ears and before pollination when the grains start to swell & tassels darken.  Each plant produces 5-6 cobs and they can be grown close spaced in rows or blocks or alongside another sweet corn variety.  Price for 50 seeds

 

SOW: start indoors from late March to May, harden off and plant out end May-June.  Start seeds outdoors in late May (under cloches).  Space plants 20-25cm apart.

 

GROW: keep plants well-watered.  Minipop should be picked before the grains swell so harvest when the tassels just show from the end of the corn ears.  This can be as early as July but more often mid-August onwards.  You pick before pollination which is why this variety can be planted in a row rather than the usual block.

 

EAT: fruits can be 1kg & the rich gold smooth, sweet flesh is exceptional baked, roasted or steamed, lovely in sweet or savoury recipes.  You can harden the skins for storing or you can dice the fruits as you harvest and freeze in portion sized amounts.
