Sweetcorn Sown

April 18th, 2010 No comments

Going for 2 types this year.

F1 MINIPOP x 20
The baby sweet corn that is popular for stir fry and salad dishes. This variety does not require sowing in blocks, an ideal variety for mini veg, producing 5-6 cobs per plant, Normal sugar type. Sweet corn mini pop doesn’t need to be planted in blocks it does not require pollination to produce cobs.

F1 CONQUEROR x 30
Super sweet type. A late variety producing a high yield of attractive cobs, which are approximately 22cm in length. Large sweet tasting grains. Reliable crops late in the season. A high class sweetcorn, perfectly adapted to the often troublesome English summer. Plants are strong growing and average 3 cobs and with 14-18 rows of succulent kernels, per plant. Superb eating quality

Meet Bangaii Cardinalfish aka Cardinal Bob

April 15th, 2010 3 comments

After the death of the 2 clown fish we lost our nerve at keeping more fish. The clowns just didn’t eat at all for a week and starved themselves to death. A week later we bought a Bangaii Cardinalfish and waited with baited breath to see if he would eat at all. On day 2 he started to chow down, so the clowns died because of a problem they had and not something we did wrong…

Photos just don’t do the colours justice

2010 Spuds are in

April 4th, 2010 No comments

Going for the old faithful of Charlotte and Desiree. However this year we have also stuck some St Edwards in. Got all the seed spuds late and VERY cheap. 2 rows of each.

Also were 4 rows of onions and I think they were Turbo and Sturon ~200-250 onions

Will be buying some Nemaslug once the weather warms up.
