Sweet Corn is Made of This.

🌽 Well, I missed the three-minute mark by quite a bit but there was a lot I wanted to cover on the no-dig approach. 🌽 Sweet corn likes a few things for a good result. 🌽 Sunshine and heaps of it. 🌽 Water and heaps of it. 🌽 Protection from strong winds 🌽 A rich, well prepared, no dig, organic soil.

Potting up a Fuchsia hanging Basket.

I took some fuchsia cuttings a few months in mid-winter and they have struck roots and since potting up have grown well. Now, though, it's time to put them to use and pot them up in a hanging basket so I can take full advantage of their flowering beauty.

Three Minute Monday Ep.10 Harvesting the Potato Bags.

Wow, ep.10 already.

To say I wasn't disappointed would be to tell a lie but they are super yummy potatoes even if the yield was a bit on the light side.

Not sure what I can do differently to improve things. Maybe more potting mix in the pot before I plant. 30cm rather than 15cm.

I might try a different variety next time, see if that makes a difference.
