An early cropping and very reliable variety which produces long, even cobs. The taste is exceptionally good and, as with all Sweet Corn, the sooner you eat them after harvest, the better the taste. Grow in a sunny position, sheltered from the wind, ideally on a well drained soil which has been enriched with peat, or well-rotted manure or compost.
What does the warning on the packet about Thiram mean?
Packets of Sweet Corn 'Kelvedon Glory' have printed on them 'Seed treated with Thiram : Do not use for food, feed or oil'. This means that we don’t want people to eat the seeds that are actually in the packet. Thiram is a contact fungicide with very low toxicity that protects the germinating seed against damping off and root rot diseases when the seed is at its most sensitive during germination. It breaks down within days of the seed being sown and does not enter the plant at any stage. It is safe to eat the produce that results from the plants that grows from the treated seed. None of our seed is genetically modified.
