Grass ...Yes I quite agree about the useless grass!! Grass is for garden admirers not gardeners in my opinion! It's been annoying me that up against the shed get a large majority of the sun and yet I couldn't plant anything there because hubby the un-gardener wanted to keep the grass for the kids we don't yet have. So I just basically went ahead and made it how I wanted it and his reaction was basically, "Oh cool, it looks good, maybe you could put ANOTHER one in the other corner and make a little path in between." Lol. <br /><br />I was surprised by how much crap there was hiding under the grass, considering some of it had pretty big roots. My neighbour said they apparently used to have the shed where the raised bed now is, which is why there seems to be supporting type stones and slabs all over the place.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15188603527602084352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612766834326848993.post-49625304131558922642014-05-23T05:32:17.425-07:002014-05-23T05:32:17.425-07:00On the subject of pollination, I usually waft the ...On the subject of pollination, I usually waft the stems of our sweetcorn to help distribute the pollen.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612766834326848993.post-26105063926424644682014-05-23T00:40:58.210-07:002014-05-23T00:40:58.210-07:00Good work!

I have tried Sweet Corn a couple of times, but I think my garden doesn't get enough sun for it to do well. You have certainly done it "by the book", in that whichever way the wind blows, your corn ought to get well pollinated. I had the same experience as you when I removed the "lawn" from my plot - a thin layer of soil concealing a mess of builders' rubble. Bricks, metal, plastic, wood, nails, you name it, it was there.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.com
