Harvested two sweetcorn (the ones that were planted out slightly earlier), as the tassels had gone brown. One was still white, the one quite ready, if a little short. Needless to say they did not get as far as the cooking pot.
Tomatoes are slowing down, and also splitting in all the rain. The last handful of green beans, and some Swiss chard for supper.
Harvested the globe artichokes, one huge and two smaller ones. They took a lot longer to cook properly than suggested by Hugh Ferny-Witteringon, but were utterly fantastic. And a hit with the kids, too.
Epsom salts totally rock. Have been watching the yellow blotches slowly shrinking, and pink leaves suddenly acquire green veins, from just the one application. I think the Galante must be particularly susceptible to this deficiency, as they look the worst, and it may have weakened them too much to survive any attack.
And the pond work is finally going to start, hopefully next week, honest gov.
