I think my plot could do with far more pretties on it than it's got. It looks like you'll get a good sweetcorn crop, I didn't bother sowing any seeds this year, there's only me who'll eat sweetcorn so sometimes it just doesn't seem worth the effort.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-66141497353164288552014-08-17T08:11:53.739+00:002014-08-17T08:11:53.739+00:00The flowers and pollinators have taken as wind bas...The flowers and pollinators have taken as wind bashing., Snowbird.
