One of the earliest supersweet varieties, Earlibird F1 produces a good yield of high quality cobs up to 20cm long. A deserved recipient of an AGM this is a very popular choice.
Sow: inside from mid-April to early May in deep pots, or from May to June outside.
Grow: harden off when about 15cm tall and after frost danger has passed. Plant them in a block with the plants and rows about 30-50 cm apart. Sweetcorn is wind pollinated. Earlibird is both strong and vigorous, producing high quality cobs to 20cm long. Remember to keep supersweet varieties apart from each other.
Enjoy: cobs are ready when the juice from a kernel is ‘milky’. As soon as possible after picking pop into a pan of boiling water.
