What eats corn off the cobs when there on the plant is it rats or birds or possums probably rats.
Usually me, I don't generally grow corn though I do love it, takes up a lot of space, and never makes it indoors, but my wife bought the seeds this year.What eats corn off the cobs when there on the plant is it rats or birds or possums probably rats.
Last year I managed to get some early spuds from a seed and corn merchant, I plant the whole spud if they are a regular size. I then wanted some Kestrel potatoes which we cannot buy as certified so I got some from Woollies, they were all closed fist size, those I cut in half making sure there were chits on both halves, only 2 failed to crop just rotted in the ground.Weal, when you chit spuds do you plant “ the” spud with whatever growth/ sprouts on it as a whole, or do you slice the sprouts off separately and plant as individuals.
The reason I’m asking is ,I have in the past gone the later and this year the yield has been very disappointing to say the least.
I have been dividing the spuds, as above for yonks but last yr wasn’t so good and this yr is....pffft.
What was the weather like last year do not like hot weather if you plant larger seed potato can plant deeper as they can sprout from deep in the soil and that could protect roots from heat have seen on youtube where they did this where there could be very cold and the extra time under ground allowed for weather to change .Weal, when you chit spuds do you plant “ the” spud with whatever growth/ sprouts on it as a whole, or do you slice the sprouts off separately and plant as individuals.

It was very tasty too, though SWMBO got me to cut about 4 inches off the end (ouch) to slice and fry Russian style.You have impressive marrow WEAL.
