A really good weather week, if you are not a gardener Just the sort of weather for the beach, night time temps ranging from 10 to 18 and day time 18 to 25 (not the 27 that was forcast and brilliant sunshine for most of the week but NO RAIN only .5mm!
Things are really beginning to suffer and as we are on water restrictions only the veggies get the water. My water buts are nearly empty and the big underground tank is only half full.There are isolated thunder storms forcast in the next couple of days but knowing my luck, and the micro climate, they will probably miss us. Heavy dews which help but we need a really good soaking. Then I can complain about that. Is there no pleasing me!

Late peas are flowering and I have picked the first Mache (Lambs Lettuce). Lettuces are doing fine if they don't bolt with all this heat and the turnips, which are eaten very small here, are ready. Ce la vie!
