Sweetcorn

Mixed results with the sweetcorn. The main variety is Sundance F1, with a few of the "Indian Summer' bicolour that survived damping off.

 The ones used to interplant the winter squash near the duck bath sump are doing well, with good-sized cobs developing. Those that went into a bed of their own two weeks later have not thrived, and are only half the height of their neighbours, with rather pathetic looking coblets. Interestingly, despite being sown and planted at two week intervals, they have produced cobs/male flowers more or less simultaneously. As the saying goes, "what's the difference between a good gardener and a bad one?" "One week".
