A little something from the poly tunnel to enfreshen my day! Alas, after having mountains of tomatoes last year, I only had 2 fruit from my plants this year. Most got blight...
One of the 'house arrest' odd jobs done was to clear the ground behind the pond of bramble and nettle. Plans are taking shape as to what to fill it with. Liz has ideas of stuff she can give me cuttings off too...
Post confinement, my 3rd excursion on the first day of post-covid freedom was a plot trot. Preceded by a shopping excursion and a coffee-shop trip, the plot produced a few items Liz had overlooked.
The patch behind the pond has been cleared, as I mentioned before. I have now inserted the azalea that originally lived in the front yard, then moved under the kitchen window and then to the hedgerow flower patch. I also have 2 strigs mint that may or may not take, a honeysuckle seedling, and 2 clumps lychnis.
This is the last of the 2021 corn harvest, collected the first Monday of October. It took me almost 2 hours to take off the kernels to bag up for the freezer - but I now have a third bag full of homegrown juicy sweet corn kernels to last me thru til next August.
I had a few other crops that day - this lot and a few green beans. Finally for today - here is the bag of corn from that pile of cobs I harvested....1 big and 1 small bag already in freezer.
