Week 38 - Bed DD1

The corn and courgettes continue to grow in the reasonable weather that we have had.

The ears of corn are starting to swell, but there is not a lot of time left in the season.

The Genovese courgette is still producing a lot of fruit, though some of them are aborting because they have not been pollinated. We need to attract more bees and other pollinating insects to the garden.

Some of the older courgette leaves are in rough shape. I am not sure what is causing this.

The white courgette is healthy and produces ewer fruit than the Genovese courgette, but they grow at a faster rate. The courgettes, are broader than what is typically found in the shops, but just as tender.
