Now then Sussex me old mate. Maybe, just maybe, you've dropped a bollock. I was having a word with a knowledgeable sage the other night on the subject of sweet corn. His take on things is that you plant corn in fairly close circles to enable you you to 'shake' the pollen amongst the the plants. This enduses pollination and hence a crop. My friend holds the world record onion. Just a thought. Jok.

Oh no ....wait till I tell my old farmer mate he'll be gutted , he's just planted a 20acre square field ...I can see us out there tonight digging it up ...? Mind you there could be a difference in your colder climate where they need to huddle together to keep warm , down here we need to get some air round em to cool em Otherwise you end up picking them ready cooked ..

Your mate clearly knows his onions ?...but sweet corn ?..

I'll keep you updated ..

Wow that looks professional, was that bought as a kit or did you build it with sleepers?

Just bought the timber and built myself

 

 

Very nice, I've just used a load of stone from the old 1970s rock wall fireplace we had taken out, it does the job and we've got cabbage and lettuce growing but I would like to make something smart like that for next year.
