Sunday produced a taste of summer but unfortunately, it was for one day only. Monday morning was cooler and cloudy enough to produce some light drizzle. Tuesday and Wednesday haven't been an awful lot better.

As you can see from the chart above Sunday was the first day of the month to reach the average daytime temperature for July and apart from a couple of nights all the night time temperatures have been below average too.

We've already had a decent amount of rainfall this month adding up to 51.6mm which isn't far from July's average rainfall.
The rainfall has kept the ground at the allotment workable and our Kalibro cabbages could be planted out without any advanced watering. All our brassicas appear to be enjoying the cool and wetter conditions so we're looking forward to some excellent crops as we move a bit further into summer.

Isn't that something? Sounds like one of our desert influenced days, but you have no desert!

DeleteWe are just having a very strange year for a few different reasons. It would be nice if summer would start now.
Your brassica patch is filling up nicely. I still have some preparation to do before I can plant out the remainder of mine.
ReplyDeleteWe are aiming to get some more brassicas planted out over the weekend. It's a case of getting everything in place to protect them from the pigeons.
