Been looking at my baby sweetcorn for ages not understanding why there was not in them??? The fact is there was but they were very far down into the plant...
I've not grown corn successfully before so it was all new to me.

We had some smaller ones but I think I should have looked into when the things are ready for harvesting.
I'm getting some of the beds ready to grow wizard beans as green manure.

Not yet - they should be ready this month though. If they are crowded you should be thinning for sure.
