It’s hard to beat that first “Wow” reveal moment you get from Glass Gem corn!

These starchy corns are one of my favourite crops to grow with their technicolour brightness, and pop corn is always a crowd pleaser in our house!

I absolutely adore Rich Sweetness melon!

Despite the powdery mildew and a fairly epic case of red spider mite, this little plant is still pumping out the pocket size, super sweet, tiger striped melons.

Definitely a new favourite!

Picking the mega, gigantic, super cat faced Orange Accordion tomato.

These cat faced tomatoes form when 2 or more flowers are fused together.

They may look like crazy mutants but they are perfectly edible and I personally can’t wait to tuck into this bumpy giant weirdo!

We have been super busy this week working away creating videos for She Grows Veg Heirloom Seed!

We don’t just want to provide you with the most inspiring and delicious varieties for next season, we are also creating a huge libruary of video content to help you get the best possible harvest.

As well as that @kategrowsanddesigns and I have tasted every single tomato in the collection, so you will be able to see exactly what they taste like before you even buy them.

Lots more filming happening next week but so far things seem to be going really well.
Big thanks to @lukejamescreative for being super easy to work with and fully embracing the world of veggie growing!

It’s a long way from the polytunnel to the kitchen, the compost bins are a good halfway rest point!
Even Milo needed a little lie down!
A moment of calm at the end of a crazy day cleaning up my Titan sunflowers seed head ready for drying.
And breathe…
