Corn's in



I set out the first of the sweetcorn yesterday, after looking at the weather for the next week or so. The plants have come on to a couple of inches high in the polytunnel, and there are enough spares left if there's some unforseen disaster.

The variety is Incredible F1 - the one we grew last year which produced around three bucket-fulls of cobs when it came time to harvest. We're going to try smaller batches (if that makes sense...) on three or four smaller patches of ground this year; partly because the plot's filling up fast, partly to see if we can succession sow and not end up with quite such a big glut.
