It will be a short weekend for me this week. I agreed to overtime for tomorrow earlier in the week. I was hoping it would be cancelled but sadly it wasn’t. Looking on the brighter side it is only half a day so it should go by quick. It isn’t the work rather it is the getting up a little earlier than I like on a Saturday that makes me wish I wasn’t doing it. Still it is more to put towards the end of year spend.
I think my corn might be ready for picking ready for Sunday dinner. I’ll check it tomorrow after work though I shall leave picking it till Sunday. That will ensure it is at its freshest. I’ve never grown sweet corn before so I’m hoping I have gotten the timing just right. What I have read online said to wait till the silks turn brown. I worked out that was the strands that came from the top of the developing husks. The only thing is the ones that appeared on my plants about two to three weeks ago have vanished. I’m not sure what that might mean. I suppose I will find out on Sunday. Magz will need to have the butter ready, hehehe.
The apples are still swelling on the tree. I checked them on Wednesday by give some of them a tug to see if they wished to come off. They didn’t so I left them to mature for another week and then I shall give them another test. I think it could be another couple of weeks or more though before I get that pie from Magz.
