Red Cabbage plants are growing better now that they're outside and in the ground. They just took off once I transplanted them outdoors.
I planted 50 bare root strawberry plants and they're just poking their heads up through the soil.
Sweet corn is coming up too. They look like they're close together don't they? I read Mel Bartholomews Square Foot Gardening adendum not long ago, and he once planted sweet corn very close so that it looked thick and lush on camera. He said that he had excellent pollination and it was one of his best corn crops ever. He said that since then, he grows them very close together. I thought I'd give it a whirl. Hopefully they will do as well. I planted two varieties: Silver Queen and Silver Princess. Princess matures quicker so we should have a longer season for corn.
