But the heat has certainly had an effect on other parts of the allotment. Most notably the poor neglected tomatoes in the greenhouses. They have certainly dried out through the lack of watering.
Mind you, it's their own fault. They haven't turned into the promised glut of tomatoes. Probably because of the lack of watering, so it's kind of a circular argument. But at this stage of the season it's not really worth while trying to do anything with them.
But we are still getting some decent produce. We decided that it was time to pick the sweetcorn. We'lk leave the corn a few days to dry out a bit, but then it'll become part of the glut of corn ready for making cornbread.
If I ever get around to it.
And don't you find that the seeds on strawberries at this time of year are just a bit too crunchy?!
ReplyDeleteNo, they were OK. It's just that they tasted a bit bland. Not sweet like they did back in June. Mind you, it could have been because back then I was tasting them from my sick bed and anything tasted sweet then.
