Our garden continues to produce in spite of this extraordinary heat and being SW facing it does get very hot.
The carrots are those little round Chantenay and we are eating rhubarb most weekends.
Our hedgehogs still visit every night, so do three different cats!
My antirrhinums do well every year although the seeds are slow to germinate, but they do eventually appear!
In these hot days we've taken the slow lane and not done an awful lot.
Dh usually gets up before me and my first words to him even before 'Good morning' have been, 'Has it rained?'
But we haven't had these thunder storms with a down pouring of rain like some places... although our trail cam showed some spots the other night and amazingly you could see the patches of dry appearing when it stopped on the patio!
I love the summer but not this heat, we've not even sat out to eat any meals.
And I hate that its nearly the end of June already, where did this month go to? The thought of wet and cold winter does not appeal to me at all!

I hope you get a break in the heat soon.
ReplyDeleteChantenay carrots are so sweet and crunchy. I'm sure the hedgehogs are doing a wonderful job of keeping your garden free of pests.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe we're almost into July.
Snapdragons are just beginning to flower in my garden. They self-seeded from the ones I planted last year.
ReplyDeleteI do hope the heat eases soon. The end of June makes me think about all the summer things I'd still love to do, too. It's such a short season and we have to make the most of it.
We are supposed to be 105 later this week. I'm over it!
ReplyDeleteI love rhubarb and have made a couple of cobblers this year.
ReplyDeleteSure hope you get some relief from the heat wave you're having.
So hard go believe that it is the end of June already.
Yes, the heat is horrid!
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe how quickly this year is going though.
All the best Jan
It's been very hot hasn't it. I hope you get some cooling rain in the near future.
ReplyDeleteMy rhubarb is in its first year and I am so looking forward to next year when I can start harvesting it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so grateful for the cooler days and nights again - such a relief. xx
The garden looks really nice. That heat is coming my way now lol. It's going to be a really hot week!
ReplyDeleteI used to love Snapdragons as a child and found them endlessly entertaining to open their 'mouths'. It feels cooler today but we still havent had any rain.
