Camel CSA’s expert growers have been responding in lots of innovative ways to the difficult vegetable growing conditions this year in Cornwall.

When the ground in May proved too wet and soggy to prepare any growing beds let alone plant anything, Bridget had a brainwave. Why not put some sweetcorn in the polytunnel?

It can take a couple of hours each week for Camel CSA’s pickers and packers to harvest our crop of polytunnel-grown dwarf French beans.

Our professional growers have made it easier for us this year by planting a special yellow variety that’s quicker to spot among the luxuriant foliage.

Also in our standard boxes this week are peas, Florence fennel and the first of the tomatoes. And redcurrants from one member’s garden in St Mabyn.
