Frost Schmost!! I've planted out the sweetcorn!
« on: May 18, 2007, 20:20:06 »
Couldn't stand watching it getting eaten by snails in my plastic greenhouse, and this was my only free day for the next five. 15 plants in a square of 5 x 3 plants (better for cross fert? I was told)

I'm in not very sunny surrey and I'm probably rushing things, but it felt really nice & it makes my plot look a bit loved in between all the nettles and stickyweed.


how soon can I put out the squashes, Jeannine?

I was told it would be ok for mine to go out now.  ;D
Don't throw paper away. There is no away.

Planted my mini-corn last week & it seems fine - big corn out tomorrow.

Have you got some fleece just in case? and remember a cold cutting wind can do just as much damage. Ours are still in the greenhouse!

Thanks for the warning.  I was really worried last night as it was quite chilly here & windy but the squash & beans seem to be ok today so fingers crossed.
