Bad Corn.

It would seem that this year is going to be a trying one up at the plot. Nature is going to test me to the limit.

The corn I planted last weekend (see below) before the heavens opened up and drowned us out, has not done very well at all.

I think that deluge of rain has rotted the roots. My soil is not exactly well-drained, but should be OK. However, they needed time to bed in before being attacked by the great British weather.

I will give them a little longer to see if they can recover now that the weather has been hot for a few days, but I’m not hopeful.

UPDATE: I had a look at it today June 9th and I think that some may survive as they are still standing. They are way behind everyone else’s, but should still produce something.
