Our allotment water supply is via horse troughs.
I make sure the colonizing water weed doesn't get completely removed, as it keeps the water "sweet" and clear, have had water boatmen in one of them every now and then.

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

The carrots are going well
More room in the greenhouse now the peas are finished, that experiment worked very well.

5 packets of seed, all different varieties sown in succession, so hopefully we will be eating them in smallish quantities, last year I left them in the ground and covered them with fleece and they lasted right through the winter, quite a lot went into carrot cake as well as dinners and soups.

It was 31C on the plot & 40.4C in the tunnel today so it was a short visit & nothing done in the tunnel except water. I did manage to clear the 1st E spud bed so will be down tomorrow to plant the kale as it is getting pot bound. We have a yellow warning for thunder storms overnight - fingers crossed. The long & short of it was no photos again! Whoops!

Stayed indoors most of today, 46 in the greenhouse and 35 in the garden was just too much for me! I've been out to water this evening, the strawberries were looking a bit droopy.

We have rain now, but it was dry earlier
Successional sown carrots and some Parsnips
Peas, climbing French beans and some winter cabbage underneath

Main crop spuds are happy, lost the front courgette in the big wind in pic 2, but new sow is up, but squash obviously happy. Pic 3 showing climbing French beans did not like the breeze but dwarf beside having finally fought off the mice & runners are liking the shelter of the tunnel & working out the climbing of the hazel sticks! Not great in comparison to previous years but I will have crops!
