The hottest day of July with the temperature reaching 27.3°C. The temperature at 05:30 in the morning was just 9.8°C rising to 27.3°C by early afternoon. In the afternoon it was a lot more cloudy but remained very warm. It was another day without any rain.
On the plot our dahlias have been struggling in the dry weather especially as we have concentrated on trying to keep our vegetables watered. However our plants raised from seed are now starting to give us some cut flowers. A bit like our potatoes the dahlias haven’t made much top growth but at least we will find out the colours of our dahlias raised this year from seed. I’ve still to make up my mind how or even if we will store these tubers over winter.
