    Not taking any chances, only 43c in the open cold frames, might have to call them warm frames soon.

    Nice and cold in the pill box, which is rapidly filling up with Cabbages and Potatoes, I think they've gone in there to shelter from the heat.

      Fabulous fun day but exhausting.
      The humidity was almost up at 75%, training in humidity is not my favourite.


      Beautifully balmy evening in the garden.
      Dancing to Glastonbury tunes and watching my friends drink mojitos.
      Im on the fruit juice until September.

      29C in West Cheshire. We had blue skies to start and then it clouded over. Then it was blue skies and clouds with the temperature climbing. I love the heat but today was still slightly under the weather due to a case of food poisoning a few days ago so I didn't enjoy it so much, but there's always tomorrow.:D My cats followed me whenever I was in the garden and then used me for shade.:heehee:
