The variety is called Lark, and I think it’s been bred to cope with our shortish, not very reliable summers. The Incas apparently used to stick a mackerel in the planting hole. Wouldn’t want to waste a good fish tho. But the plants do need a lot of water and muck, and a breeze to cross pollinate them.
What a beautiful still life! That corn is a perfect cob, and I’m an expert. We used to have market garden and we never produced anything that splendid.
That’s so true, Gilly. And so many things aren’t quite the same after being frozen. I’ve still not quite got the knack of sowing small quantities every fortnight or so, which would help a bit.
There’s the field between the computer and the allotment, and so I do a lot of dashing back and forth – words one end, compost the other. I have been toying with taking my laptop into my polytunnel, but knowing me, I’ll get soil in it.
Perfect idea and excellent capture… 🙂
Beautiful shot; the colours have such zing. I can almost taste the sweet corn! And I’m slightly envious, as I’ve never been able to grow it well. 🙂

An excellent and obviously delicious reward 🙂
And so much more lovely to look at than the producer in weird gardening gear and willies. Not a pretty sight 🙂
yum 🙂

Colourful reward! Well done!!

Thank you for your seal of approval on my corn. I’m honoured. 😀
gorgeous photo beautifully composed!
Thank you, Brenda. Nice of you to visit.
The fruits of your labour, a well deserved reward (it all tends to come at once though!)

Oh my. 🙂
Excellent shot ❤
Fantastic harvest feast!
Love the rich harvest colors! 🙂
What a great reward…
This is one splendid image, Tish 🙂
Thank you, Sreejith.
Heavens! You’re productive in more ways than one, Tish 🙂 Such an inviting composition

In my eyes you are a miracle worker. I have the blackest thumb around. Beautifully composed colours, Tish.
