That is certainly a fantastic harvest @the-gorilla 👏I like the smiley sweet corn on the cob 😊 Maybe you’ve got a BBQ out there so you can grill the sweet corn next time if you can be bothered - it tastes divine! You can also add some grated parmesan on top and have it the Mexican way 💁♀️
Nice suggestions - I love a BBQ but I fear that BBQ season is over now for this year. It's really 🌧☔ here at the moment.
Oh Dear @the-gorilla 🌧 It’s quite windy in London at the moment, it’s messing up with the now quite tall tomato and cucumber plants 🌬The sun was out at lunch time. It did rain hard the night before though. I always love a BBQ even in winter. It’s not the full experience but still the food’s worth it. I’m still left will 25kg of charcoal and I’m hoping to use some of it before Christmas 🤞
We had the same problem with our lettuce - it's grown so tall because we don't eat it often enough and now it's fallen over in the wind! Quite inconvenient, I must say!
I love a BBQ too, the chargrilled taste can't be beaten.
Sorry to hear about your lettuce @the-gorilla Have you maybe got any other than green? I find the ruby coloured the most special, maybe just because it's different. I've not tried growing lettuce, maybe I should but I've always been afraid of the slugs which attack nearly anything here anyway. I guess I need the mighty Carrot Man to keep clear of the slugs 👊
I think they're little gem and we've let them grow tall - they still look good so I won't be uprooting them just yet 🙂
We have problems with slugs (the size of mice) and caterpillars which have totally destroyed our broccoli. Both the slugs and caterpillars are members of our "pest relocation programme" which secures them a flight to the water company next door. A lot of pests have joined the initiative and our broccoli is recovering slowly.
🥬I usually go for little gem lettuce when shopping as some other varieties are just too big, Romaine lettuce for instance and then half the lettuce ends up rotting in the fridge. 😱 I’ve not seen this big slugs @the-gorilla and I really hope I won’t🤞 I’m glad your pest relocation program is a success 🏆 In general, luckily this year I got less caterpillars than last year. I’ve not grown broccoli either 🤔Are they big broccoli heads or summer, tender stem broccoli? Maybe you will also post about them?
