Rain or shine, the planting doesn't stop! 🌤 Last week we were getting more sweetcorn into the ground.
Swipe through the gallery to see the process:
1️⃣ Broadforking: Loosening up the soil (and getting a great workout) before a quick rake over.
2️⃣ Dibbing: Poking out the perfect grid of holes.
3️⃣ Planting: Tucking the young sweetcorn plants into bed.
Fun fact: Sweetcorn is actually wind-pollinated. To make sure every cob gets fully pollinated and packed with kernels, you want to plant them in tight blocks rather than straight lines. We squeeze ours together at a 20cm spacing—any closer and they'd compete for room, but this is the sweet spot!
