This afternoon I headed down to the allotment to finish off the grand weeding that I’d started and the plot is looking really good at the moment.  I had a swift batch of harvesting courgettes and sweet corn (both sorts).  With the weather drying up, the green courgettes seem to have slowed down a bit, which is good news; a steady long season would be great.

We had the first two large sweet corn cobs as a starter tonight and they were great, well worth the space investment and a crop for the future without doubt.  I’m less convinced about the mini sweet corn, although they do add a different texture and flavour to salads, it will be worth trying some in a stir fry to explore flexibility.
