Corn & Courgettes

Posted in Allotment Diary

Today we planted nine sweetcorn plants given to us by our allotment neighbour yesterday… they’re best in a square so that they pollinate, so we dug over a weedy patch to fit them in. They’re diddy little things at the moment, but they’ll get big!

The courgettes and squashes we planted last week aren’t looking too great, they’ve wilted a bit in the heat, but we had so many that even if half survive will be eating them til Christmas!!
