You can see the typical shape has pronounced shoulders.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/Srj6Q-O2vTI/AAAAAAAACvE/vwdo2zamFj0/s1600-h/DSC06145.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384328524011584818" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/Srj6Q-O2vTI/AAAAAAAACvE/vwdo2zamFj0/s400/DSC06145.JPG" /></a> Do you remember way back in the Summer I was doing silly things to one of my baby pumpkins? <div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/Srj54myO3RI/AAAAAAAACu8/x-Zl7eXmmQs/s1600-h/DSC05575%5B1%5D.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384328105400655122" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/Srj54myO3RI/AAAAAAAACu8/x-Zl7eXmmQs/s400/DSC05575%5B1%5D.JPG" /></a> Well, look what happened when it grew up!! <div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/Srj443V9PYI/AAAAAAAACu0/V2g9STM-zrg/s1600-h/smile.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384327010333834626" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/Srj443V9PYI/AAAAAAAACu0/V2g9STM-zrg/s400/smile.JPG" /></a> Another late Summer success were these <strong><em>Conqueror</em></strong> sweetcorn. I planted a second crop about a month after the first, and they have come up trumps! It is a testament to the new varieties of F1 hybrids that are more suited to the unpredictable British climate, that despite the fact that these cobs have been sitting on the stalk for a number of weeks, they were still tender and very sweet! <div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/Srj4eaxoK2I/AAAAAAAACus/2uTwJPS4gsw/s1600-h/DSC06150.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384326555988667234" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/Srj4eaxoK2I/AAAAAAAACus/2uTwJPS4gsw/s400/DSC06150.JPG" /></a> Boiled for 10 minutes and spread with butter and fresh black pepper! mmmm</div> </div> </div> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28615441-3408551870641033810?l=veggies-only.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_914" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a914" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a914" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX914X5X0XaXarticle_rater_914Xarticle_loader_914X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX914X4X0XaXarticle_rater_914Xarticle_loader_914X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX914X3X0XaXarticle_rater_914Xarticle_loader_914X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX914X2X0XaXarticle_rater_914Xarticle_loader_914X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX914X1X0XaXarticle_rater_914Xarticle_loader_914X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_914" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a914">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
