Lit: when rain fall?
It’s been above thirty degrees for weeks. Whilst the humidity has rendered me lethargic, the lack of water has turned the veg patch into parched wasteland - with a few tomatoes. The seedlings survived a week of thunderstorms, but the heat, dry earth and the herbivores has been too much for them to endure. Moreover, I’ve not seen one carrot top.
Early September should bring a change to the weather and the odd shower may offer some respite until then. Although there are plans for autumn and winter vegetables, I reckon the cauliflowers will get the drop and make room for another seed scattering.

Hi from England.. If you want some water we’ve got gallons of the stuff here.. I think we’ve had about two days without heavy rain all summer!

Hurrah a thunderstorm has arrived. We were in the UK for a few weeks, between May and July. Everybody said how hot it was before we flew over, so we didn’t bring any coats. I guess we brought the rain.
