- ===== General comments =====  
-Space plants: 20 - 30 cm apart   
- 
-Compatible with (can grow beside): All beans, cucumber, melons, peas, pumpkin, squash, amaranth   
- 
-Avoid growing close to: Celery.   
- 
-Best planted in blocks to help with pollination. 
- 
-Pick when the silky threads on the cobs turn brown or black. Part the top of the leaves and test for ripeness by pressing a grain with your fingernail. If it is milky, it is ready.  Early varieties ripen quickly and are sweeter when just picked.  Avoid planting coloured maize ( for drying) near sweetcorn as they will cross-pollinate and spoil the cobs on both.
