and our bees ventured out.

Time to go on a hunt.

We grew Sweet Corn for the first time two years ago, starting with a mini variety which we planted in the polytunnel. It was so lovely we went for a a bigger type last year. We still used the tunnel thinking it was a delicate species, rather foolishly as large fields of the stuff are grown commercially not far from here. The cobs were not good and the plants nearly pierced their way through the roof.

To this year, more sensibly, we planted outside

and this wilted tassel is a sign or readiness.

The Hunter’s Moon is nearly full

and we are pleased with our Sweet Corn hunting.
