Sweetcorn hates root disturbance so this year, rather than growing seedlings at home, we are going to try pre-sprouting the seeds and planting them directly. They are chitting on wet kitchen paper in a sealed plastic container on the window ledge at the moment ( Zea Mays 'Incredible' F1).
The seeds we planted at home at the end of April are all doing very well apart from the dwarf beans (Nomad). The runner beans are ready to plant out.
On the plot we weeded the roots bed and took the tallest branches off the huge plum tree to comply with the 'twelve feet tall' rule. We haven't had much free time for a couple of weeks and the weather has been quite wet and very windy, but we intend to spend some time on the plot this weekend catching up on planting seeds and weeding.
