Hello. The new season will soon be upon us. With all the speculation of food shortages and panic buying, I wonder if it has made a difference to what you grow and the amount you grow. I do not think there will be any significant difference. And I will not be panic buying. But with all of that said, look at the ridiculous amount people buy over Christmas. And we know that comes around every year. I’m certainly going to use my growing space to the maximum. If this situation encourages a few people to plant a few seeds then all to the good. I am just in the process of ordering some varieties of beetroot for my seed shop. I did so well last year with growing my marrows in old straw that I will be posting a blog on it very soon. My foray with sweetcorn last year was getting on fantastically. My best friend advised me to harvest it. I said to him give it one more week. Before the said week was out they had all been struck down with some sort of pest. To say I was gutted is an understatement. My pal still keeps reminding me of his advice. Still that's gardening. Ill give the sweetcorn another crack this season.
