Anyone struggling to cope with the heat yet?

Despite the warnings from the BBC the highest predicted temperature for us
today is 20C which is much the same as the last two weeks.


It was so hot on the plot this morning I had to wear a hat for the first
time this year and weeding the onions was hard work. Have to go back down
later as we forgot to water the Chillies and Aubergines which are under
large plastic cloches this year.

Watered the plot early this morning. Will do it again tonight. 22C in the
shade by my pond atm.

Our onion plot seems to have suffered from grass seed scattering. Most
weeds have evolved to make themselves very attractive to small children
scattering them far and wide!!

I wish my peppers were under cloches this year. We had the garage rebuilt a couple of years ago and I now have a south facing wall to place them against, (in pots) which worked wonders last year, with plenty of fruit set on them by the end of June. This year June has been so cool until the last few days that they made very little progress at all. Likewise my squash plants, which have probably got smaller in the 6 weeks since I planted them out, until the last couple of days.
