The Perfect Warm Weather Seeds
Corn seeds are best sown in the spring, allowing you to have juicy, sweet corn cooked to perfection on the first barbie of the summer. Corn is wind-pollinated, so when growing sweet corn seeds, be sure to grow them in blocks 40 cm apart to ensure a successful crop. It can be hard to know when your corn seeds are ready; the best way to test for ripeness is when the tassels have turned chocolate brown. Squeeze a grain between thumbnail and fingernail—if a watery liquid squirts out, it is unripe; if it is creamy, the cob is ready.
