For years I avoided trying to grow sweetcorn here in Ireland, as I thought this crop needed more heat to grow than we normally get, and I didn’t want to take up space in the polytunnels with a crop that was not very high yielding. But in the past two seasons we have been able to produce edible cobs of sweetcorn under cover in the polytunnels, outside and in large containers, and although there are still issues to resolve, it is definitely a crop worth growing again.
