A hot day for weed pulling.

It's no secret that the plot has been neglected over the past few months. Ill health has meant that I just haven't had the strength to keep on top of it all. But today we had some of our neighbours visit the plot and lend a welcome hand in clearing the pathways of any infesting greenery.

They also managed to take the time to tour around some of the plots, and I do believe that they were particular impressed with one of our fellow plotholder's archway of hops. I think there were thoughts of beer in the making.

Our popcorn seems to be coming to fruition. We've tried picking them to eat as a normal corn-on-the-cob, but it seems we don't have the right variety for that. However it does work superbly well in the popcorn machine. So we've come to terms with that. Although we have still to attempt grinding it to cornmeal and baking corn bread. I think I mentioned that at one point. Still not got around to it.

Today also happened to be the MAGA annual Produce Show. We didn't enter anything not having anything worthwhile to enter, least ways not show quality. But we still got a reasonable harvest which we gladly donated some to our erstwhile helpers.

But there were some impressive showings at the show.

There was even some rejoicing from one of our old bread club members who won a first for their Kashmiri Apple and Date Chutney.

Last time I entered something was a couple of years back. Again Bread related. I'm spotting a theme here. Definitely have to get around to making that corn bread.
