I had to take a chance this morning that my sweetcorn would be ripe enough to pick before I go away on holiday.

This variety
'Conqueror' is specifically suited to our unpredictable British climate. These three were just perfect, we enjoyed them with melted butter and black pepper!

I had to pick some corn today because Matron is going away for her holidays tomorrow.

Sailing across the Atlantic Ocean on the Queen Mary 2.

Buddy is going into kennels. Be a good boy, we won't be long! Back on the 29th
Have a lovely holiday! Look forward to your return post.

ReplyDeleteHope my Conquerors (a week or two behind yours) turn out so well. Enjoy the holiday.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great time.
ReplyDeleteI found a mosquito net on the side of the road last year and put it over my broccoli plants using a tomato frame. It made an absolutely amazing difference to the broccoli crop.
Lucky girl - have a great time!
ReplyDeleteI'm dribbling at the thought of that sweetcorn running with butter and zingy with black pepper ...
Have a wonderful trip! There's just something about a transatlantic crossing that's magical.

I'll remember that name for next year - ours aren't nearly as good...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your getaway!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your good wishes! I am now mid-Atlantic, sailing towards the Grand Banks!
ReplyDeleteHave a rocking holiday dear Matron. And those corns look delicious; i'm sure you are gonna miss your home grown vegetables.
