On an upbeat note, it's almost time to plant corn. 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽

My #lupine cover crop kinda failed, but I have a bag of chicken poop, so I'll be good. I just need a way to keep topsoil/mulch/water from running off: my soil is notably taller from adding shit to it in the #corn patch. I'm wondering about that icky plastic edging.

I plant in the hellstrip, so there's a lot of edge. Do I start a blog to record progress? It would 100% have #alamtg stuff too...

For the record, corn is a pita.

With a lot of my Summer plants dying back at this time of year - tomatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, - it's nice to have one crop looking its best right now. There will be popcorn!

This is a mini black popcorn variety from Koanga Gardens' seed catalogue. I grew it last year and really enjoyed it so this year I planted even more.

Closeup of the cover of Leonhart's book with a coffin in the branches of a tree - a printer mark of the printer Michael Isingrin. The image of the casket in a tree forms a Christian cross, and the tree holding the coffin was a Holly. The depiction of a Holly tree was deliberate; it symbolizes eternal life. Botanically speaking, the Holly tree is regarded as the evergreen twin of the Oak. Thus, the coffin in the tree represents the journey of life from birth to death - the perfect image for an herbal.

Depending on where in #Mexico you are, and who you are with "esquites" can be a little different.. but the base ingridient is #corn kernels, best if white savoury (but doable with yellow sweet) boiled, grilled or roasted with onion and some species. After cooked one can add lime, chilli powder, mayo.. or if you are wrong about things sour cream and salty cheese 😜

It is time to harvest the corn, pumpkins, squash and more. I personally love seeing a corn field that is ready for harvesting with the lovely browns of the stalks and leaves. Who does not love the rich tones of the colourful autumn foliage on the deciduous trees? This image combines both of what October or harvest time means to me.

Innovative Project Is Growing Crops Beneath #SolarPanels in #Kenya

"...By combining the land dedicated to solar panels with the land dedicated to agriculture, it is possible to avoid some of these pitfalls. Growing plants beneath elevated solar panels protects them from the sun in hot, dry places and helps the soil retain moisture, the University of Sheffield explained. The strategy has worked successfully in Global North countries like France, Germany and the U.S., but has not been tested in the Global South, according to SEI and The Guardian.So far, the results have been promising, The Guardian reported.

In Kajiado, #cabbages cultivated under 180, 345-watt solar panels were a third larger and healthier than the control group. #Eggplants, #lettuce and #corn also fared better in the panels’ shade."

Let's have some more #corn updates! It's not just corn, of course - my "three sisters" patch is literally in full bloom now. As well as the first ears of corn appearing, I have flowers on the beanstalks and my first pumpkin flower too!

Due to the corn maturing at incredibly different rates, I've been out there hand-pollinating the corn each morning. I have three stalks with various sized ears now, all starting to grow nicely.

Small #corn update, everything is growing well. One stalk is starting to show signs of maturity, and the pumpkin leaves are getting huge. Beans are throwing themselves all over the place, having a great time.

I also impulse purchased some cucumber seedlings without any idea where I was going to plant them, so I've put a trellis up at the back and will try growing them up on that. Didn't have anywhere else to put them really.

Realised it's been a while since a #corn update. My little cornfield is well established now. Tallest stalk is up to about waist height.

The two pumpkins are spreading out nicely and providing great ground cover and stopping the ground from drying out in direct sun.

Most of the beans have got started wrapping around some corn, but they're getting a bit ahead of some of the smaller stalks. Maybe should have waited a week or two longer on planting those.
