I did see reports from other plot holders saying mice or rats had eaten all their sweetcorn cobs and so I wasn’t too surprised to see that they had eaten mine too. It is the first year I have tried growing them on the plot after last year’s success in the garden, and seeing the results from the mice I will grow them just in the garden next year. Not a big problem as these were left over plants that didn’t fit in the garden. The sweetcorn in the garden is growing well and the squirrels have not touched them

Not many visits to the plot over the last week, some hurried visits to water and that’s mostly it. I did plant out some more mystery plants and I did stay long enough to pick some apples from the tree, it seems to be doing very well this year.

I need to thin out the swede and do a lot of weeding.
