Plenty of rain at the beginning of July

The allotment should be well watered now. Previously July's rainfall had been of a showery nature but on Monday it rained all day. 
Everything in the garden and at the allotment should have got a good soaking and we won't need to do any watering for a while.
Temperature & Rainfall Records for 12 July 2021

The rainfall wasn't particularly heavy but, by the end of the day, it had amounted to 14.6mm (0.6in) bringing our monthly total up to 58.6mm (2.3in) around the average amount for the whole of July.

It certainly wasn't a day for gardening but it did give me chance to catch up with a bit of video editing. Our early potatoes growing in recycling crates have been emptied. The results were mixed with one crate providing a decent crop of early potatoes and the other two a disappointingly small crop. However, Ruby decided that making a potato reveal video of the crates being emptied wasn't going to be straightforward.
