 + ===== Short comments ===== 
 +Tall, shallow roots,  hungry, needs wind protection. Popcorn, needs processing for human consumption.
 + ===== 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.  Plant in 4 by 4 blocks to encourage germination 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.
