or squeamish even
Send your lily beetles to me Geoff - I'm not squamish
I don't even bother to cook my sweetcorn
I hope it recovers Doris Last year I thought I had lost my Bottlebrush tree- it was about 10' tall and absolutely smothered in gorgeous flowers in summer but the 2 severe winters we had really hit it hard.We had to prune it right back to stumps but I am very pleased to say that it is growing well again and there should be about a dozen flowers this year I do hate losing plants,too
I would cut it back but not water it yet - let it dry out a bit first
They will root easily if put into some multipurpose compost with a bag over them and kept somewhere bright but not direct sun. I root most of my Fuchsia cuttings by putting them on a north facing windowsill
Sweetcorn can easily grow to 6' - I don't want to spoil your experiment but I think they would be far happier outside - they are going to need lots of water if you plant 3 to 40cm pot - if we have a good summer it will probably be too hot for them in a greenhouse. Sorry
It is beautiful ,David
If it is the old leaves and not new ones I would say it is normal - Mine always loses some leaves
