2021 - What I did today

Never got round to sowing sweetcorn, but did plant out ( long overdue) broad bean plants and peas, thereby clearing a hardstanding for putting 'whatever'.  Pricked out marigolds/tagetes lemon and tangerine gem from the seed swap.  I forget who donated the seeds and I'd have to go up to the gh to check but thank you whoever you were, they're lovely little plants.  Potted on aubs.

Last year I sowed sweetcorn on 1st May and they wanted to be planted out on the 23rd May, so should be sown about 3 weeks before the last expected frost. Mind you I sow them quite close together in a seedtray so if they are in individual pots, they could probably wait another week so you could sow a week earlier, 4 weeks before last frost.

Aren't our records lovely things    For the last 5 years I've sown/chitted my corn on or around 20th April, then into root trainers in gh.  Each year they got planted out around  last week in May.  These cold nights are perhaps influencing my sowing actions, but that may be a false premise as the nights  will undoubtedly warm up sometime. This year  I aim to sow two batches successionally so will probably be sowing soon.  The average last frost here is said to be last week in April (next week???), but I have never found that to be the case.
