Finished digging a bed next to the courgettes on Plot 86 and put the sweetcorn in it. Figured that since they're only a couple of inches high then they shouldn't get too battered by the really windy conditions we had yesterday and not too big that their growth gets checked by transplanting (as I think that's what happened last year). Just in case they get attacked by the slugs I put some pellets (organic ones) down around them.
We also attacked the weeds that have taken over the paved area around the shed and now have quite a nice 'patio' where we can put the deckchairs and maybe the barbeque if the weather picks up (I'm writing this whilst the rain's throwing itself against the window).

The rain flattened half of my sweetcorn so I've had to support the plants with short canes.
I too am staring out at rain lashing the window!
I'm just about to plant out my second wave of sweetcorn. Even the little plants have a great big long taproot which is winding round the bottom of the pot. When it gets planted out that taproot will go straight down to stabilize the plant.
