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!
gone to pot :D

tim

Frost here next Friday night!

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

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.

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.
