As a nation, we Brits do like to moan about the weather.
But I'd like to say, as a man that works outside quite a bit, that this summer has been amazing for weather so far.

Summer

We have had so much rain that it has messed up the tomatoes, garlic, onions and seems to cause weeds to grow twice as fast. I work outside and it doesn't seem near as hot as past years. It has been in the 90s some but often in Virginia, it gets so hot and humid that you can't hardly get your next breath, not this year. I have been cutting my hay with a scythe and haven't suffered much, I wouldn't want to cut firewood though, still too hot for that.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking very healthy. Love your cute little helper :)
ReplyDeleteWe have had an extremely good rainfall this year, so the garden is booming. It has also been a warmer Winter than usual, and is set to continue this way through to October or so the long range weather forecaster said on the radio this morning :) Looking forward to planting my Spring garden soon, maybe a little earlier :)
Too much rain has dealt an unkind blow to our garden here in Kentucky. Though, we did harvest a few things. Yours does look very good.
ReplyDeleteSo weedy I stopped pulling them and started mowing between the rows. Now it looks like I planned these nice green paths!Last ear we had a terrible drought in the Midwest (USA) this year much better.
ReplyDeleteYour veg garden looks great. I only have a small plot and some tubs but that's all I can keep up with. I am still doing very well though. So far broad beans, (done) dwarf beans, scarlet runners a few pots of potatoes. I have outdoor tomatoes too but they were late starters so no crops yet. I bought a small plastic greenhouse last year, never again. !!!
ReplyDeleteElderly woman trying to catch greenhouse in neighbours garden at 4am in a heavy rainstorm......Not something I wish to repeat. ha ha.
