corn

Yer, had thought of making the heading to this post "not quite elephant's eye" .. but decided that might be a bit corny.

Two policemen are called to the scene of a crime at the Gateway local convenience store in Fareham, England. One asks the manager, Roger Cook, what happened.

Roger replies stolidly, 'There's a man over there covered in Corn Flakes and, I'm afraid that he's dead.'

'That's odd,' frowned the first police detective, 'didn't we have one covered in Bran Flakes yesterday and another covered in Weetabix last week?'

'You're right,' agreed the second detective, 'This is obviously the work of a cereal killer.'

Anyway, moving right along .. Just an update for those wondering what's happened to these ..

They're doing quite well, seem to have reached puberty; and are happily conjugating.

and yep, have now added a pic to this one)

Just posting some pics of the veggie patch(es).  Am too lazy to dig up much dirt (?) so am using poly boxes filled with potting mix. Um, another reason that am starting with poly boxes is that can move them around until i discover where the best sunny spots are.

These are the sweetcorn seeds, which i grew in a seed raising tray, then planted out -

sweetcorn and tomato 

There are also some potatoes in there somewhere, but haven't come up yet. The two tomato plants are try 2. We had some snow last month which knocked off try 1. Have since heard that "never plant tomatoes before the Melbourne Cup" .. heh.

Aaaand one strawberry plant alongside some chives.
