After a horrible spring weatherwise, summer has entered with a vengeance. Temperatures this past week have been in the 90s (35c), and tomorrow is predicted to approach 100. The vegetable plants have exploded with growth thanks to the sudden blast of heat and sun. Now, the challenge is to keep them sufficiently watered until we get some significant rain.

Hot! About 6 or 7c down on that in my neck of the woods but sweltering nonetheless. Usually not until August 1st when picking toms in earnest, not this year! They are already in production! As always winners and losers in the garden. I had a lovely raised bed of ten calabrese all perfect but only managed to harvest two as the heat stress triggered bolting for the rest.
Mini Munch cucumbers are a joy. I pick a couple (from three plants) each day which we have for lunch along with beetroot and a lump of cheese.

Sounds tasty! Most of my small (and some large) cucmbers never make it to lunchtime or into the house. I end up eating them off the vine.

Sort of like eating crunchy cucumber water?
