I'm planing on planting four monthly crops of nine or ten plants, which will make early February my last planting but should leave me enough warm weather to finish off the crop.
Sweet corn is also a hungry plant as in it likes plenty of water and a rich well fertilized and well drained soil at planting time and additional fertilizer, applied in my case at monthly intervial until all the corn cobs have been eaten.
Talking about eating when it comes to reaping the rewards of home grown produce then sweet corn is right up there. When it comes time for me to cook my corn I usually have the water boiling on the stove before I go and pick what I want to eat. I also remember an episode of M.A.S.H. where Col. Potter was talking getting back home an his idea was to somehow peel back the skin off the corn and just lean the plant over and dip the corn cob into the boiling water. Now that's fresh.
I usually grow my corn from seed sown direct where it is to be grown but I've had a late start to the growing season therefore I bought a punnet of corn in order to catch up four of five weeks. The next crop will be planted from seed.

Have I missed anything?I think I've covered it all.

Stewart.

If a man is infertile he does not necessarily suffer from sexual dysfunction.
Penile implant is a device placed inside your penis to help obtain an erection.
It helps in relaxing the blood vessels and instigating an increase in the flow
of blood towards the sex organ, leading to a stronger
erection.

Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely
long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying
your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for first-time blog writers? I'd really appreciate it.

Heya just stumbled upon your blog via Yahoo after I entered in, "Blogger: My Veggie Garden" or something similar (can't quite remember exactly). Anyhow, I'm relieved I found it simply because
your content is exactly what I'm looking for (writing a university paper) and I hope you don't mind if I collect some information from here and I will of
course credit you as the source. Thank you very much.
