Monday continued the heat wave that has suddenly arrived and produced the hottest day of the year with the temperature reaching 28°C (82°F). It may well turn out to be the hottest day we get this year especially if this summer turns out to be like last year.
As you can see from the temperature chart for the last 12 months the spell of weather at the moment is better than anything we managed last summer.
In the garden it was a question of finding a nice shady spot to do some pricking out of cucumber and courgette plants as well as sowing more french beans.
It got to lunch time yesterday and I decided I would go to the allotment. I only stepped out the door and decided not to bother, it was so hot. I spent a bit of time in the garden instead. Those green trays are so handy. I use mine in the kitchen when it's too cold to sow seeds outdoors and it keeps all the soil from going all over the place.
