One of my aims each year is to provide fresh sweetcorn feasts for the extended family from late July until early October. Well this year, with the bizarre weather we had in spring and early summer, I missed my July target - first feast wasn't until about 10 August. But, amazingly, we're still harvesting sweetcorn now. Today, 22 October, I brought home cobs where the kernels were more white than yellow, and a bit on the small side, but beautifully juicy and sweet tasting. There are about a dozen cobs left on that last square of planting, and I'm hoping to collect then on Tuesday 26th, for my son's 50th birtygay supper. Just hopimg the muntjac deer or the sqirrels etc etc etc don't get them first...
