There came plants!

I'm getting very into the idea of growing food in my soon-to-be back garden. So I planted a whole lot of mielies (corn) in a seedling tray two weeks ago. I planted them with my daughter so she could also watch them grow, and she's been watering them every day.

Mielies are completely psycho growers!! I planted them about 5cm down, as per the instructions on the packet, and the little shoots were breaking the surface a few days later.

In the words of little Zeb - "There came plants!!"

We can't move into our new house for an additional month now, and the mielie plants are already a good 15cm high in their little tray. I'm considering planting them out in the garden, or on the verge so that passers-by get a free meal in December.
