    No real idea on sweetcorn (which we love), but seem pretty sure it needs to come out of pots!

    Plant them out in whichever is the sunniest area and put 4 stakes at the corners to help with the wind, if needed.

    Sorry, should have read the question... sheltered I would guess would be better, but I doubt it really matters...

    They tend to like a warm sunny spot I find.
