Plant different varieties at different times or in different places

If you want to make sure that you get the sweetcorn that you paid for plant different varieties at least two weeks apart so that they flower at different times or with at least 5-10m between blocks. If you don't do this the varieties may cross-pollinate with unpredictable flavour results.

Remove flowering stalks immediately

A fast-growing central stalk growing straight up may well be a flower which will suck energy away from leaf production. Cut and compost as soon as it is clear it's not a leaf.
