Oh no ....wait till I tell my old farmer mate he'll be gutted , he's just planted a 20acre square field ...I can see us out there tonight digging it up ...? Mind you there could be a difference in your colder climate where they need to huddle together to keep warm , down here we need to get some air round em to cool em Otherwise you end up picking them ready cooked ..Your mate clearly knows his onions ?...but sweet corn ?..
I'll keep you updated ..
