    andy, if you don't already grow it, plant some sweetcorn... very few food stuffs compare to that cut straight off the plant, cleaned & thrown into boiling water for about 5 mins.. followed by putting a little butter on it & eating it.... you'll be cross eyed with pleasure

    I was looking at them today aswell as it was 5 trays for a tenner.
    Might have to go back then.
    How big do they get? Would i get away with using one of them flexy rubber type plastering buckets?? Got one spare that i used at my old house last year.

    they go to about 4'6" & need a cane. the stuff you see in the field in england is not edible for humans & grows way taller... i once tried to convince a gang of brickies that they really shouldn't bother nicking a load from the adjacent field as it would be like bullets & taste shyte... but as is common knowledge, brickies always know better
