Sweetcorn

sweetcorn Jul 10

The sweetcorn we planted on bed 3 is coming along very well. We have 26 plants growing and we have now found corn cobbs beginning to develop. We grew sweetcorn last year but the results were at best modest. Hopefully this year we are heading for something more substantial.

This is bed 3 where the sweetcorn is growing (towards the left of the picture). It shares the bed with garlic, Jerusalem artichokes, courgettes, a blackcurrant bush and shallots, though the latter have now been harvested.
