Week 31 - Bed 1

After a month of rain and very little sun, this bed is doing reasonably well, except that one of the squash plants is missing (not visible even in the blurry photo) as are the direct seeded courgettes among the sweet corn. I suspect slugs had a feast during the three weeks that no-one was watching the garden!

The sweetcorn is taler than expected, given the incredibly poor weather conditions over the last month. There was certainly enough water, but not nearly enough sun.

The Butternut Squash plant looks healthy, though a bit small for this time of year, and it has plenty of room to grow with the Blue Ballet Squash plant missing.
