Corn on the cob, growing outside

    I planted a few corn on the cobs in pots in utility room. They've grown great, but I think it's time to plant outside
    Will they survive our Irish weather?
    I will harden off for a few days before planting out
    I understand they are wind pollinated too
    Any advice?

    I always grow them. Some years they ripen better than others. Get them outside soon. They are wind pollinated so plant in a group rather than in rows.

    Thanks for your reply Srameen
    I'd be delighted if they grew and produced!

    That's why my wife planted them in groups...every days a school day:)

    My Mother-in-law used to grow them in a sheltered suburban Dublin garden: but they need a hot summer to ripen well.
    May be lucky, may be not.
