Even though our corn crop has been severely affected by the 2012 Cornbelt Drought
with careful watering of our vege garden we have managed to now have some wonderful summer produce.
Some sweetcorn grown by our neighbours and just picked one hour before we cooked it, added to our summer meal tonight. This specialty crop of sweet corn grown on 1/4 of an acre and looking so much better than our field corn, benefitted from 10,000 gallons of irrigation.
Imagine that- unheard of in Australia. A drought with unlimited water.
But not obviously, available for wide-sacale farming.
Still... No water restrictions here.
In the meantime our dinner tonight included zucchini, the just picked sweet corn and sweet peas from our garden.
Dont worry, you will see more of the tomatoes over the coming weeks/months!
Do you have any special tomato recipes for everyday meals?
Please share.
