Ooops

Tactical gardening error: mulching the sweetcorn bed with straw my friends the chooks haven't inspected first. Baby barley looks remarkably like baby sweetcorn. (Funny that, them both being monocots and all.) Ah well, I guess I'll just have to wait until they get a bit bigger!

Hey, I wonder if the sweetcorn would coexist with the barley? I could have a mixed grains bed - and produce a teeny tiny amount of grain. :-)

I should run masterclasses

Gardening pro tip: if you're in the glasshouse watering stuff, a spur of the moment decision to try and hose off some of the guck from the ceiling will result in said water coming back down. Gosh, who would have guessed? Off to blow-dry my fur now.
