Sweetcorn

The corn is going very well. I have four or five cobs almost ready to be picked. The hairy ends have started to turn brown which I believe is the indicator that they are ripe.

Tomatoes

The toms are coming along nicely, especially the Tumbling Tom variety. So far we have had four succulent red beauties that Jake has immediately gobbled up. The heavy rains and strong winds have blown a couple of the pots over so I have moved them against the back wall of the house.

Next year I plan to grow the tomatoes up a lattice of canes erected against the wooden fence on the right-hand side of the patio area. It is a nice sunny spot and sheltered from the wind.

Monster Courgette

My courgettes are doing really well and have produced some monsters. In total I have three plants which are producing 2 or 3 courgettes every few days. Next year I shall limit it to one plant.
