Well it's that time of year again thank gawd. The zenith of veg growing is the arrival (or not) of the beloved sweetcorn crop

I have this very day just munched my first sweetcorn. Miracle from Wilko (26 p a packet) Very Happy

Not as big as Sweet Nugget but lovely Very Happy

I planted some Minipop, not had anything yet and don't think I'm going to now with the weather we're having Mad

My minipops are the right size but unripe. It's been pouring with rain today which doesn't help Rolling Eyes

I know they did. Well maybe it will get better and be glorious by tomorrow Very Happy

I want to go to Clumber tomorrow as they have a veg tasting session in the afternoon so fingers crossed that the rain will ease off by then
