Corn - Sweet  Cucumber

CORN - SWEET                   

Sweet corn can be sown in spring after all danger of frost has passed. Successive plantings are possible to extend the harvest until January in most areas. Sow all year in the tropics. Suitable for temperate, subtropical and tropical areas. Direct sow in full sun, 2-4 cm deep, space 20-30 cm apart in rows 60-90 cm apart. Block planting improves pollination and gives well-filled cobs. Prepare soil with compost and well-rotted manure. Once the first node on the stem shows root nodulation, hill the plants up to 25-30 cm deep. Count 18 days from when the silk appears and start checking for ripeness, the kernel should be milky.

Sweet Corn 'Max'

Not to TAS - now allowed in WA

‘Max’ produces large cobs of golden corn on a hardy and rust resistant plant. A ’supersweet’ (Sh2) supermarket hybrid, it contains about twice the amount of sugar of older varieties. It is also slower to convert sugar to starch, so retains its sweetness longer. It should be grown at a different time to other sweet corn as cross-pollination will reduce its sweetness.  This is untreated hybrid seed with a high germination. Height of plant: 196 cm. This is an F1 hybrid so is not suitable for seed saving. Days to harvest: 85

CUCUMBER

Cucumis sativus

Sow cucumbers direct after all danger of frost has passed; in tropical areas sow during the dry season. Suitable for temperate, subtropical and tropical areas. Sow 10-20 mm deep and 50 cm apart if on a trellis, 1m apart if planted into raised mounds. Growing on a trellis reduces fungal problems, spraying regularly with seaweed also helps. Prepare soil with compost and well-rotted manure; cucumbers dislike acidity and needs frequent watering. Pinch out the terminal bud to encourage branching. Harvest cucumbers daily with 2 cm of stem to reduce water loss and improve storage of the fruit.
