How do you know when sweetcorn is ready to harvest?

I read somewhere that when the tassels of your sweetcorn turn brown, then they're ready.

Just one problem with that... they started brown in the first place.

Is it when the tassels as they emerge from the cob turn brown? I really can't seem to find any definitive answer. Other reports say that when you press a kernel and a milky fluid emerges. Nothing like that so far. Maybe I just need to be more patient?

But the Tomatoes are starting to tun ready now.

Not many I'll admit, most are still green.

Still we managed to get a few for dinner.

Elsewhere on the plot, do you like our new Autumn Apple Wings Tree? See that nice yellow flower it's got?

It seems that our Autumn Wings pumpkins have a taste for spreading themselves around. I've already had to head off some of the vines that were making a bid for freedom by trying to escape into next doors plot. Seems like it now wants to reach for the skies.

Meanwhile inside the greenhouse, we've stopped the strawberries from escaping by planting the runners into pots.

Looks like we'll have about 30 more plants next year. Roll on the Strawberry Tower.
