I can't believe how HOT it has been this weekend. It is still 28 degrees outside in the shade this evening and almost 8.30 pm... I am absolutely dripping - I can't move without breaking out into a sweat. Okay so that is probably a bit of a gross way to start a post, but it is what it is. HOT. Definitely a heatwave for sure.
I think it was even hotter today than it was yesterday as yesterday morning I managed to get some gardening done by mid morning - today I have barely done anything - it has just been far too hot for me. Gosh never thought I would say that!
So here we have Saturday morning in the garden:

After:
Much tidier.

After:
Tomato plants also staked up.
I also weeded the above bed, but more difficult to tell in this photo.
I dug up some more potatoes in the orchard garden as well as beetroot, a couple of onions, radish (which I had for lunch yesterday) and picked a load of beans which I prepared and froze.
In the afternoon I did a little bit of art, but the paper wasn't so good for what I was trying to achieve.
I think I much prefer to paint things on smaller pieces of paper, than the larger sizes!
I am so out of practice, having not painted for several years now, I think it is going to take me a while to get back into it.
No photos for Sunday - as I say just too hot to do anything really.
I am really impressed with all your gardening. Hope it gets a bit cooler soon. I also hope it is not a sign of what is in store for our coming summer.
ReplyDeleteThank you, never thought I would say it, but I hope it cools down a bit soon too! I think we have copied NZ, as you came out of a long dry hot summer didn't you?
