Harvesting

I'm still picking carrots and beetroot along with the zucchini. Here's some of them in a poorly plated, and poorly photographed, meal of roast carrot and beetroot with zucchini fritters. I'm still trying to perfect the zucchini fritters, luckily I'm not short of zucchinis to practice on.



Flowering Corn

The sweet corn has produced it's male flowers and the silks of the female flowers. It's the females that become the cobs. Each silky hair is attached to what, with good pollination, a kernal. It's been really windy lately in this hottest spring on record. This can some times lead to poor pollination, as the pollen blows away from the crop, and subsequently the cobs aren't fully filled with kernals. I've planted in a block of four plants x three plants so hopefully this will help.
