Sweet Sweet Corn

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.

Buddy is going into kennels. Be a good boy, we won't be long! Back on the 29th

  6. Hope you have a great time.

    I 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.

    I'm dribbling at the thought of that sweetcorn running with butter and zingy with black pepper ...
