Presumably you have a collection of plastic bottle cloches and a back up packet of seeds.

Still, nothing ventured nothing gained, who dares wins, etc.

I have a very large collection of bottles.  They have come off the broad beans and gone onto the sweet corn.  They last for years.

I have 12 sweetcorn seedlings that are doing very well inside - going to move them to a plastic greenhouse thingy to harden off this week.

I was wondering do sweetcorn plants need to be staked as when I potted them up a couple of weeks ago one got broken by a gust of wind. So my ponderment is should I stake them - or are mine not doing as well as I think if they are fragile?

Sorry for hijacking the thread?

Cheers

I planted out 17 plants yesterday with cloche bottles on them.   :-\

Mines are in the packet and will remain there for at least another couple of weeks!

Mine only came out because an excited 10 year old couldn't wait. I will plant some more if they die - but hey nothing ventured and all that  :D

I've got some Swift just showing ,they're due to go in a polytunnel though, maincrops will prolly go into propagators this weekend.... need to wean the tomatoes off their heated monster propagator though... build a frame in it so I can double-deck at night I think...
