Sweet Corn Swift F1

Swift F1 is an extra tender variety.  It can be eaten cooked or raw.  And it lives up to its name, swiftly growing and taking just 10-11 weeks from planting out to harvesting.

SOW: inside from mid-April to early May in deep pots, or from May to June outside. Push the seed 2-3cm down and keep moist and warm to help with germination.

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. Swift is a vigorous, but not tall, early to mid-season variety taking just 10-11 weeks to reach harvesting: depending on the season this could be in late July!

EAT & ENJOY: Cobs are ready when the juice from a kernel is ‘milky’. Cook soon after picking. Swift can also be munched on raw as a snack.
