Vegetable growing 2023

What variety are the figs @JWK ?

 

They look a lighter colour than mine.

 

No I never got round to getting a different variety, it was on my to do list but you know how it is.
Space being the main problem.

Maybe it's the light in the picture but yours look almost orange in colour.

 

Just tried the first of the sweet corn.

It's gone now.

 

Not a great performer in what way, produces no fruit or produces fruit that needs a longer summer to ripen.

 

I looked into my tree yesterday and for a second had a shock, there was this dead piece of skin hanging from a branch still covered in blood.

Nothing apart from a half eaten fig in a tree looks more like something out of a horror movie. Disgusting.

 

Whip a few cuttings off it before relegating it to the back of the border, it might have root problems.

Should ask, is it in a pot.

 

From the allotment. Very hard to see what happens under "Enviromesh", hence didn't shield the left one, a little green here and there, but edible. Quite a few helpings! "Snowball". Too warm and dry for them at times too.



Will have to look at the others.
