Would someone please remind me next year - taller canes & the other greenhouse??

Blimey!
I have had mine outside since planting (bar a couple of trips inside when frosty)... so hopefully they won't grow *quite* that tall!

How much space do you need to grow that many sweetcorn on a plot?????

About six or seven of my spuds in bags have now been earthed up to the tops of their half compost bags. They are growing faster than I can earth them up.

Please - no more frost, or I'm scr*wed!

tim · « **Reply #71 on:** May 03, 2005, 15:02:43 »

Frost here next Friday night!

aquilegia · « **Reply #72 on:** May 03, 2005, 15:33:33 »

None forecast for my area over the next week. I'm still scared, though. (we haven't had any for weeks!)

about 19.5 ft SQ or any block of 380 SQ ft sounds a lot but well...

It is ;D ;D ;D

Tim

How are your spuds doing? I had a root around in my Home Guard planted on the 19th of Feb and they are the size of pigeon eggs so will be lifting the first plant in the week ahead. I think that means we are about 10 days a head of last year.

My bucket (well, wash basket actually )spuds are outside and one of my Cara's has started poking through today. Yes!!!!

tim · « **Reply #76 on:** May 08, 2005, 06:54:00 »

Jerry - despite the wonderful show of foliage etc, I have a nasty, sneaking feeling that there'll be nothing on mine!! And mine went 2/2.

Oh, well, I've enjoyed them.

Tim - I don't understand....... the pots may not be there????

Oooo noooo - mine look like yours, I would be so upset if I couldn't get a crop from them.

I daren't look now - just in case it's a no-show :'(
