Plan for today: get the last of the climbing beans in, they've been hardening off long enough. Also need to sort out the strawberry bed which has got a bit weedy while I was focused on everything else.

Its very hot today,I’ve been taking the wilted plants out the blowaway,watering them & putting them on the patio in the shade. We went out most of yesterday,my cousin & family came down to mums so we got home at about 7pm & I’d left the blowaway door wide open for air but they were a bit wilted in full sun,the pots had water weight in them,they hadn’t dried out,it’s just the sun is too hot,I’ve put a shade net up for some on the patio,the potatoes are shading the others. I’ve got about five tomato plants in the kitchen that are staying there in safety for this early heatwave,just incase. I’m not putting all my eggs in the same basket

Busy week dealing with a broadband issue, a broken kettle, a leaking tap and a draughty back door - all (I hope) are fixed now and I might be able to catch up a bit in the garden!

Today I have done some weeding, cut the grass at the allotment, planted climbing beans, a melon and a cucumber and harvested a decent bagfull of peas for the freezer as well as the obligatory watering.
