Another week passed! How time flies when you are having fun

A warmer and more humid week than last with max temperature of 22C and a minimum of 11C and very little rain only 8.35mm. Its now nearly 10pm here and the temperature is still 21C and we are forcast to have a day time temp of 27C on Wednesday

With the ground so dry it amazes me how things manage to grow, but they do. The courgettes having been cut back are now beginning to produce again and the first sowing of leeks will be ready to eat in 2 weeks or so The late sowing of peas are showing signs of flowering and if these temperatures keep up I may even get some pods. I cut the first Optima lettice from a sowing on 1st July and have just put some more seed in as they are supposed to over winter.

I think that I have seen the first signs of Autumn, Swallows are gathering, the leaves on my Canadian Maples are showing signs of colour and I have most certainly smelt that Autumn smell on a couple of mornings.
