We've trying a different variety this year, as in previous years, although they have done really well, the corn is not really suitable for eating directly. But they did produce excellent pop corn. They still do, as we have loads of the popcorn left.
But this year it's a little more organic and it did really well. We've already had some of the corn and it is really tender and sweet. But today when we went to the plot we noticed that the stalks were dying off so it's time to fully harvest them. However a lot of them appear to have rot or insect damage.
The ones on the right seem pretty good. Maybe just a little damage. The ones on the left have significant issues. So these ones we will dry and try to use for next year.
We also are still getting loads of courgettes (of course) and we also grabbed some of the runner beans and Tomatoes. The red toms are from our mass of Tumbling Toms, but the yellows are rogue plants which appear to have sprouted from last years attempt at growing Ildi. And to top it off we harvested our first three chilli fruits grown this year (still more to come) and some less maggoty apples.
Now, does anybody have a good corn chowder recipe?
