7th October 2024

There is no Summertown market on Sunday due to the Oxford half marathon. Deliveries will be done very early on Saturday.

We expected it to be wet today so this sunshine is a real bonus. Corn to the right is our neighbour's maize whereas to the right, behind the tractor, is the remnants of some of our sweetcorn. We have had a good run of really good sweetcorn, still good for this week but it might be your last chance. On the left in the foreground you can see the flowering artichokes, a good 8 feet tall this year, there will be some good roots under them to harvest. The water bowser is definitely redundant for this year now and the steerage hoe isn't much use in these wet conditons either.
