richrollgardener, The removal of the tomatoes from the greenhouse benches gives us room to get the first planting of sweetcorn (Flagler) started. We put 5 seeds to a pot and 32 pots make a row. Once those are big enough and the weather warm enough they will get set out in to a row and another planting will be started. We try to have 2 weeks between plantings to extend the season. Last year we brought ~ 230 ears of corn to the table.

A ten inch tall, light brown teddy bear in green overalls sits looking directly at the camera. He is holding a beet in his right paw. There is a bunch of beets embroidered on the bib of his overalls. He sits looking over 32 - 4 inch pots that are 6 inches deep. They are filled with potting mix and each pot has 5 corn seeds set on top ready to be pushed in and covered. In background can be seen the walls of a greenhouse.
