Back down here yet again; you can have too much of a good thing.
With still no end in sight to the heatwave (it's five weeks and counting) we spent another three hours watering, filling the water butts up and picking some more produce. The watering is definitely paying off: apart from the clematis in the picnic area which has definitely had it, everything I doing extremely well, and here's the photos to prove it.
Blueberries by the compost heap are doing very well.
Cabbages too.....
.......and after last year the carrots are unbelievable.
Wallflowers and radishes.
The sweet peas are growing up nicely through the grapevine.
Squashes.
What remains in the two beds of leeks are now looking OK.

And finally, this is what we picked today.
