Houston...we have a problem!

Holidays are here...
Early morning beach walks

Lots of time to enjoy Kitty cuddles
 So while I don't have much new to write about I thought I would share this "mushy brain moment" with you....

About 5 weeks ago I asked my son to clear a veggie bed of weeds, add compost and sow sweetcorn seeds every 10cm.

About 4.5 weeks ago I asked my daughter to sow corn seeds in the same bed (forgetting that my son had already done this!) every 10 cm.


When I saw the amount of corn coming up in this bed I realised my mistake and foggy brain moment but have not had the heart to pull up the weaker plants yet.

Guess I will have to get around to this soon before they stronger plants are compromised.

Better search out all your corn recipes! Lol. They look lush and healthy.

I've heard that corn grows better in a group like that anyway. ;-)

Could you take out the weaker plants, pot them up and sell them or give them away? I hate wasting plants when I have too many.

Hi Linda
They do look good, which makes it hard to pull out any! And yes, Kathryn, they are meant to be in a block, but not so close. Unfortunetly Sarah, corn does not survive being repotted :(
