Sweetcorn - total failure

Back from holiday and alot of stuff has gone to waste -- maybe too hot then too wet whilst we were away?

Sweetcorn has all turned either rock-hard and flourly or if its the 2nd variety we planted it's rather pale and watery and tasteless. Digging it all up - rather expensive and time consuming way of making compositing.

White cabages all gone off also; however red cabagges looking fine.

Beans and courgettes finished and clearing their space.

On the up side, potatoes looking good - quite good yield and size and not too much worm damage.

Tomatoes not too bad -- picking them a little early (i.e. on any sign of ripening) incase blight wipes me out -- a few spots detected but not too much so far (but it's rather damp at moment so could be any day now).

Quite a few melons but mostly about an inch or two accross so dont think they'll come to much - only one looks a reasonable size.
