The Corn is as High

The corn really is as high as an elephants eye in a quiet corner of Warwickshire; you would think you were in the movie The Lost World if you stepped down my cousin's garden. When we went there on Saturday for a barbi, the corn was taller than Our Angie (mind you she is only 5ft nothing) Everything, and I mean everything, Lesley has planted is sooooo big it is totally unreal. There are giant courgette plants and jungle sized salad leaves, she can't even get to the broccoli as it is at the back of the plot and there is no way through!! I'm sure all us allotmenteers would love to know how she does it!! Even more annoying, there aren't any weeds. Grrrr!!!
P.S We had a really nice barbi, listening to frogs croak, and watching bats flit, (God knows how big they are) in the late evening and John promises to tell us some tall tales from his and Angies's travels in the RV in Denver where he bought Plum a genuine Navajo necklace from Monument Valley.
