It's Autumn and I have corn ......

Unbelievably the corn crop has produced beautiful big ears of corn.....once shucked they are fabulous eating....cooked up the first few ripe ones last night......so sweet and juicy....
The arrival of Autumn has caused the veggie beds to begin slowly dying off....the tomato plants, while still bearing a lot of fruit, are starting to die off.......the pumpkin vines are also starting to shrivel.....I read you need to leave the pumpkins on the vine until it dies......there are a lot of pumpkins growing.....can't wait until I get to taste them.....then it will be time to clear the veggie beds......load up on organic matter and wait for the new planting to start.....will get in some beetroot, carrots, broccoli, parsnip , broad beans, more lettuce and anything else that will grow this time of year.
