Beans and sweetcorn seedlings went in the garden, between rain showers.

Look at the difference between two packs of sweetcorn seeds. One pack, a single one grew. The other pack, about half, which is fine. I seeded them at the same time, too. No, not expired (2028). Just people selling dodgy seeds.

Hopefully we'll get some of our own seeds this year, if they make it all the way. I also planted them in a square rather than a row, which is apparently the key to success.

A red-letter day in our gardening calendar: The FIRST planting of sweetcorn has gone in to the ground. Now we're off to start planting number two. All things going well, we hope to begin harvest in about 60 days.

A quick look in the greenhouse finds that the first planting of corn is almost ready to set out into the garden. This will happen in the next couple of days, weather dependent. Then the second planting will get started. Also the cucurbits are nearing readiness, except for the baby butternut, which is not germinating as well as everything else.

I Asked 3 Chefs the Best Way To Cook Corn—They All Said the Same Thing

The first real sign of summer isn’t the weather—it’s the mountain of corn at the farmers market. Suddenly every cookout, picnic, and Tuesday night dinner starts orbiting around sweet corn, whether grilled alongside burgers or eaten str…

@malte Yes, the soil temp and how it affects germination is part of it, but also I got tired of crows and starlings pulling up the seedlings and having to endlessly re-sow. Starting in pots gives me better control of each planting and helps with timing each successive planting. Photo from 28 May 2024.

This morning we got the cucumbers (Marketmore 76), zucchini (Dunja), yellow squash (Sunburst), and butternut squash (ButterBaby) started in their seed trays. Okra will follow in a few days. Now I've got to get plants promised to daughter potted up in their planters before she gets here next week.

Almost overnight, we have a transformation of greenhouse space. This is why getting the date right for planting out the tomatoes, peppers, etc. is so important around here. We need the space to get the corn and cucurbits started. More in a later post.

Now that we have our greenhouse bench clear, it's time to get going with the first planting of sweetcorn. These 33 pots will make up the first planting (1 40ft. row). We always do 3 plantings, each 2 weeks apart, so when these sprout and get big enough to plant out we will start the next, etc... If you want more info check out my toots from May and June in the last two years.

Feeling happy now that I can, with a clear conscience, relax this afternoon & do some painting. In the last 24 hrs I've defrosted one of our freezers while batch making:

Spiced #Tea #bread
#Cream of #Sweetcorn #soup
Cream of #Cauliflower & #Ginger soup
#Leek & #Pea soup
#Tomato & #Butterbean soup

We've ate half of the tea bread, with the other half in the freezer and had soup for our lunches. There are now 30 single portions of soup in our freezer which will keep us going for a while 😋
