Yes I did expect the seeds to be yellow, can't think why, they resemble tiny dried up peppers but life is full of surprises, or so my wife informs me. I've planted just four seeds as space is at a premium behind my shed.

Fours days later and look what's popped up.

Who's growing up to be a big boy then.
Height = 3.5cm

Now standing at 5.5 cm it's averaging one centimetre a day and a definite leaf is starting to unfold, stand back.

Four seeds were planted in two pots, one from each grew, one was placed outside in the greenhouse whilst the other remained indoors (featured left) the indoor one is now 26cm tall and multi leaved, time it got re-potted and joined it's brother I feel.

Yes it is probably too early, it's certainly to cold and wet but they have got to move out, sorry guys but you've out grown your pots.

Gone, plain and simple, both plants have up and left me. I suspect the cats have dug them up and so I shall have to plant the last few seeds and start again.

With complete disregard to my own safety I just chucked in some seeds, covered them over with soil and left them.

It worked.

No it didn't. within a few weeks the neighbouring Lemon Tomato plant swamped it out of sight, the sweet corn now living in the shade remained a shadow of what it should have been, drastic action was called for (when I eventually remembered they exsisted)
