"My name is Corn. Sweet Corn."

We just took the first sheath (?) of corn from the plant outside. The others I am going to leave another couple of days, but this one is still good to eat.

We grew it! I almost can't believe...

I suppose it could count as sort-of organic...no, wait, I used some fertiliser, just home grown then (just!).

Not all of the corn developed, and its paler than its supermarket counterparts, but raw it nevertheless tastes good.

We've pretty much finished what we could from the tomatoes that were in the same grow bag - we lost quite a lot of them because, having gone away for two weeks, we hadn't watered them regularly enough. Still, we managed to get ~9 from it, which we took of when green and ripened in a draw with a banana (bananas release gas which help/case fruit around to ripen). Ate them raw too. They had a kind of lavender-coloured after-taste which supermarket ones don't have (more on coloured tastes later).

The corn had a slight after-taste that was different to supermarket ones too - kind of grey though. Not particularly bad, just unexpected.

Mabon is coming up, so now is an appropriate time to harvest, I suppose.

Thank you, John Barleycorn!
