The other day we finally got around to planting the sweetcorn plants we had sitting around. The reason it had taken so long? We needed to make a patch for them to be planted in!

A quick bit of carpentry later we had at least a delineating timber square. A slightly longer time was spent digging the ground out inside the square and mixing with composted dirt. It didn’t help that it was hot. Damn hot! Digging is always a bit slow when you can’t see due to rivers of sweat dripping down the eyes and glasses! But we finally got there and managed to get the plants in too.

I suspect that unless they’re really comfortable or lucky plants they’re going to struggle a bit with the wind where they are this year, but we’ll see.
