Well - I know this year has been bad for a lot of stuff outdoors, but this trial was a success! I had three sweetcorn plants outside and, despite the windy site, weren't very well pollinated. The greenhouse ones were tapped on their stems (puff - lots of pollen everywhere) and we got full, tasty cobs on all twelve. The French beans were stagger-sown in pots and settled in nicely in front and between the corn and we got a lovely crop. Will do it again this year, as I can't grow tasty toms, so need to use the bed for something productive.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

We've found french beans do very well in the polytunnel, as does minipop corn. :)

Early french beans in the greenhouse are nearly always a huge success (The mice ate the seeds one year  :( )
