IS it because of the rain we had while it was maturing? It’s an F1 hybrid sweet corn and so should be really sweet. We received a few hundred mils while it was forming and maturing.
Same at the farm Longy—and aslo sme were not formed at all—Tomatoes were also bad this year

Mine have been very good. As you know i use netting to keep the fruitfly off, well my neighbour bout me an elcheapo gazebo thingy and i have an insect netting, so i put this over the tomatoes. All that rain and the leaves didn’t get wet, so the diseases were kept at a minimum and the tomatoes have good flavour. I grow ‘big beef’ tomatoes.

If flowers can lose their perfume because of rain I suppose sweet corn could lose it’s sweetness too.

I think it’s going to take me a while to get used to it too.

I am wondering if they developed too quickly with all the rain???? No time to make them sweet.
Give me a couple of weeks and I will be able to tell you about the sweetcorn I have grown. I really need to peel one back and see how it is going. My tomatoes are about 10cm tall so far, got their first ties on them. I’m always very late because I grow from seed, which is not forced. It just comes up when Nature lets it. So I won’t have tomatoes to eat until February or March. Which, when you think about it, is right, as they are an Autumn fruit, to drop the seed for the next Spring. And I will probably still be picking in May, possibly early June.
