Stumbling Through The Garden

I’d given up with the pumpkins (Hundredweight) as 4 out of 5 plants had died. It looks like they were not pollinated and the flowers dropped off but as I was checking the sweetcorn and found this little hero:

Will I mature by winter?

The question is, will it ripen before the frosts arrive?

The sweetcorn is looking good but again, will it be ready before frosts arrive?

A Sweetcorn

The tattie patch is finally clear and I’ve covered half with the Hungarian Rye. I’ve also sown some in the space where some of the onions were. The instructions tell me it fits in well in any rotation as and when a space becomes clear I’ll cover it up again. Next year I won’t have as many potatoes so I’ve essentially doubled up the amount of growing space.

The silverskin onions are looking good too, these were the first batch of things grown in buckets. Growing things in containers means a lot less weeding.
