Pink fir apple great taste but weird looking potatoes

Harvest Thursday

Pink Fir Apple

We will probably give some of these to the local old folk we have a glut and we don`t like them when frozen


Nice size beetroot lovely when eaten hot


There's a bright golden haze in the meadow
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye
And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky

Well mine is it stands about 8` 6" and at last it has tassles on the cobs I was getting worried

  1. Whatever variety of sweetcorn are you growing? I hope the cons aren't beat the top.

    1. Alice Davey thinks it`s a variety grown for cattle feed I am not sure only paid 45p for the pkt

  2. Plenty of fun preparing Pink Fir Apple for the pot. Our sweetcorn is about waist high now.

  4. I was totally confused by the name, why are potatoes called apple? Don't think I've seen these before. I am very envious of those sweetcorn
