My starts under lights are doing pretty good. The Comice pear tree is blooming and it's supposed to be dry the next few days so the pollinators will be out to do their thing. Planted two varieties of corn along the south side of the house. It might be a little early but if they don't come up withing ten days I'll just reseed. One of the varieties is Sugar Baby bi-color and it's supposed to be an extra-early at 65 days. I'm hoping to have fresh corn for the Fourth of July. The other is Kandy Korn which is supposed to take around 85 days.
I'm going to dig a spot to put some Silver Queen corn on the south side of the shed as soon as I move all the junk and cinder blocks. It probably won't work but this year I'm going to replant more corn as soon as the first is finished. If the weather works out and it stays warm I might be able to squeeze out a second crop. There's nothing to lose and maybe more fresh corn in September.
I also got some Yukon Gold potatoes in the ground. The lady wanted them. Potatoes are so cheap I'd rather not waste valuable space but I just smiled and said of course. Life is just much more pleasant when you do what your lady wants and act like you want to do it with a smile on your face.
Here's where I planted the corn. Two rows down the side of the house. Half Sugar Baby and half Kandy Korn. I know it's better to plant in blocks for pollination but this is what I have and I haven't had any issues Probably because the house acts like a break and keeps the pollen floating around. It's not ideal but it's what I have to work with. It gets sun all day at least. I also squeezed a small patch of strawberries down at the end. I'm ripping up the crap to the right of the walkway and that's where I'll put the summer squash like zucchini and yellow. I've ran out of room. I have to grow where I can.
