We have gotten so far behind due to weather and old age. It takes forever to get motivated and before you know it's Happy Hour and then there is lousy weather like today. We have a high fog and cold wind and I must go over to our Church to install drip irrigation on a new flower bed that is going to take a lot of water because it surrounds some Redwood trees.
Our new front door landscaping is done and it also requires the installation of drip and of course my order did not arrive yesterday. I'm using tubing with built in emitters spaced 18” apart plus some plug in emitters here and there as needed. I'm using 12” spacing at the Church and I have 200’ of that.
I start my corn seed in the greenhouse and then transplant for 100% row fill and it is ready to go in the ground. I have to do that because our soil is too cold to plant directly. All my wife's seedlings are out of the greenhouse sitting on the cold-frame and the deck and they all look great.
Our new across the road neighbor stopped by yesterday and gave us about 2 pounds of “Sugar king” corn seed. So now I’ll have 2 varieties and will do even mmore staggered plantings of it.
Of course that is IF my poor husband can ever get the danged tiller to start again.
I planted my corn too early and had to replant last week.
I only have four dinky little rows that are finally filling up.
