Sweetcorn

10th  Aug 2015:

This is Hawaiian super sweet sweetcorn, loved by Malawians.
So much so that they have eaten almost all the seed we managed to saves.
Developed in the University of Hawaii, we got a small quantity of the precious seed and originally did well on multiplying it.
Long story of maybe greed or stupidity but now we are down to a handful of seeds.
Maybe this time reason might prevail.
The pic shows the water channels for irrigation, tephrosia leaves for mulch and the yellow marigolds to attract the pests away. Now!
