Sweetcorn at last!

After about 5 sowings, we've finally got some sweetcorn. Only 8 out of the 15 we sowed, but better than none at all.

The first two sowings were eaten by mice - the mice left tell-tale signs of digging and the outer husks of the corns. We covered the next two sowings, but not a peep from the seeds.

We tried one last time about 4 weeks ago and 8 sprouted. I would normally have planted out by now, but they're very late and I'd like them to catch up a bit, so will keep them in the greenhouse a bit longer.
