One of the surprises of 2019.. Mini Pop sweet corn, wasn't expecting the plants to grow to 8ft odd..

Thanks Bren, considering it had no netting or caterpillars picked off it, its doing very well!

[Bren In Pots]

It does look a nice healthy plant.

I'm also pinning all my hopes on this bendy, wind battered PSB plant, it's just about 4ft tall and looks like it's going to produce more stems than the other 3 plants put together.. so steaked and tied to hopefully get it through to late winter/early spring!

Wow, you're making amazing progress! I'm so impressed Well done!

..it really is a best of a bad bunch..

The pick for me this year.. the parsnips, incredible crop!

Also, Chilean guava.. very interesting fruits!

Good crops of strawberries and Tayberry too!

It's crazy looking back at those early photos, how far its come in those years.

Also everyone's kind words on the thread!

A quick update, dug in the green manures, very shallow though.
Looking into the possibilities of chop and drop and no dig for years ahead..
