Yesterday, after 3 days of acclimatisation (being out from under the plastic), the baby sweetcorn plants got transplanted into the ned in the garden where they will grow. The seed tray is now full of unusual tree seeds, ones that needed cold stratifying for 4 weeks – such as sequoia and redwood. Big trees! I do hope they germinate and grow well here.
Hm, sweetcorn has to be one of the luxuries of growing your own food. I can already picture myself gnawing the kernels off a cob, on a summer evening, butter running down my chin! Fantastic.
I better get another batch germinated – you can never have too much sweetcorn.
