My poor corn has been overtaken by my squash plants!  Remember Emma, next year, start your corns first so they are bigger than your squash plants!!  >:(

Sorry about your plants EJ.

Good news here though as the sweetcorn has started to perk up - looks like all the rain has done some good!

Not for mine it hasn't. Some of the lower leaves seem to have started rotting.
Hope it's not too serious.
I hoe, I hoe, then off to work I go.

I had much the same problem with my courgettes, but I pruned the biggest leaves off the courgettes and evrything seems to be okay at the moment - harvesting from the courgettes and the sweetcorn is doing okay.  May plant it a little further apart next year though....

I haven't timed my sweetcorn too well this year either, intending to sow some more in the next few days. Put one batch of seedlings out about 3 weeks ago, and another around a week ago. So far so good with most of them.  :)
Lottie-less until I can afford a house with it's own garden.
