Bank Holiday Weekend

So it's a Bank Holiday Weekend... that means wind, rain and unpleasantness.

Except somebody didn't get the memo. In a change to the traditional English Bank Holiday weather we have 30°C which means plenty of watering.

Fortunately we have so few plants now that watering is quickly accomplished. But we still have enough that we can sort of get a decent harvest. The Patty-Pans are doing the same as the courgettes in that they are going rampant in producing masses of fruits.

The Cucumbers are still providing the odd one or two but I suspect that the plants have seen better days and are on their way out. The Tomatoes are starting to ripen up now. But we still have to see anything of any amount on the Sweet Millions and the Ildi's. The ones we are getting are from rogue tomatoes left over from last year.

Elsewhere the weeds are starting to take over. Our paths are now turning green from weeds rather than brown from wood chip. But it's too hot to do anything about them. And I certainly haven't recovered enough for the heavy work required to dig them out. I guess they'll wait until it's cooler, and I'm fitter.
