Week 27 - Bed 1

The sweetcorn and the squash plants have become established and continue to grow but not as quickly as would be expected for this time of year, due to the continuing bad weather. One of the courgette seedlings that we planted between the corn has been eaten by slugs. Notice the overshadowing of the north end of the bed in this photograph taken in the early afternoon.

We will need some very good weather for the rest of the summer to get any crop of sweetcorn at all.
