Mini Vegetable Seeds – Sweet Corn Minipop F1 Average Seeds 120 £1.75
A real treat when lightly steamed as a vegetable, raw in salads or as pre-dinner dips. Harvest prior to pollination when the ‘silk’ tassels begin to show. With our mini-vegetables even the smallest plot can yield a wealth of succulent, tasty produce. By sowing closely together in blocks or broad drills and cropping while young, you can fit far more into a small area. Sow mid April-early May, 1 seed per small pot. Advised minimum distances between rows 30cm (12″) (plant when all frost risk has passed). Ideal distance between plants in the row 30cm (12″). Should be sown indoors mid April-May and planted out when danger of frost has passed. Special varieties have been chosen which are particularly suitable for eating at a young stage when they are quite small. Eat them raw in salads, lightly steamed or used in stir-fry recipes. For best results you must ensure the soil is fertile and well prepared. Dig in garden compost or peat prior to sowing or planting and apply fertiliser between crops.
