Brace yourself... No, seriously, I'll try not to launch onto a long speech. The climate here is so immensely variable that it's hard to be precise about how hot it gets. Today is fairly hot; about 80 degrees, with high humidity (it's the humidity that flattens me - I can take any amount of dry spring heat but not this...). We had a similarly hot spell over the early spring, then in May it started to rain and barely stopped for eight weeks or so. I would normally have hoped for tomatoes a bit earlier than this, and to have my first beans by Lammas - this year the beans have only just started to flower, and only two of the tomato vines have any flowers of fruits at all as yet. Mother Nature seems as tired and confused as her human children at the moment...Imogenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811393485894960485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883554250280529997.post-6596239582927603052011-08-02T22:43:18.487+01:002011-08-02T22:43:18.487+01:00is this late for your first home grown tomato?

I smiled when you said 'sweating across the baked dry grass'.. I never imagined England to get like that :)Miss Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144002124919728056noreply@blogger.com
