They pick me up when I’m feeling blue

Continued hot weather means a trip to the allotment every night to water everything.

We were delighted to see that everything we planted yesterday has held its own and not keeled in the heat.

We filled the water cans ten times over. Peas, beans, soya, kale, Spinach, beetroot, strawberries, parsnips, carrots, squash, pumpkin, sweet corn, onions, garlic, potatoes.

Heavens but it was exhausting. Even at 730 in the cooling air .

I sat on my arse while Si picked the latest strawberries They are bountiful
