Growing sweet corn

I have learnt quite a bit about growing corn over the last few months. The first thing that comes to mind is location, location, location. I planted 8 sweet corn along the southern end of my back yard, and one over near the western fence. I thought the southern end would be a good spot for them, as they would get the northern sun. I was wrong. They are shaded by the shed to the east of them, as well as the trees right behind them, stopping the summer sunlight that would be going straight overhead. So they are shaded most of the day. The one over near the lemon tree is not shaded by anything, so gets sunlight most of the day. In this photo you can see the size difference in the corn cobs of the one picked from the southern fence compared to the one near the western fence.


You can also see that the small one is irregular, while the large one is full of kernels and looks much more appetising.
The sweet corn have now reached the end of their season, so here is my plan for the next time I plant sweetcorn:
Plant over near the western fence and make sure they have lots of sun.
Start early in the season so that I am more likely to get a few more ears of corn off them before they die off. I planted these in mid to late November last year.
Fertilise regularly as they are heavy feeders.
