4th Heatwave Of The Year

 

Potting Shed bench looking active and for a change somewhat tidy! View out of the window the raspberry beds & the main path and Michelle's plot opposite mine.

The Met Office says the official heatwave criteria will be met across many areas of the UK, with three consecutive days of temperatures above thresholds that range between 25C and 28C depending on location this week.

In London, temperatures are forecast to reach 29C on Monday, rise to 32C on Tuesday and hit 28C on Wednesday.

Square Foot Garden Bed 2 sown area of Radishes and Carrots watered on the surface and at depth via the six 500ml pop bottles, covered in crushed egg shells

Starbucks Ground Coffee collected by my sister who is a regular customer, decanted into tin trays, coffee pucks crushed and placed in the sun to dry.

Rows of Milan Purple & Kabu Small Japanese Turnips and Guardsman Spring Onions sown in my CMH Containerwise heavy duty propagation tray. 

French Climbing Beans germinating well & the Portable Mini FM Radio Digital Radio Speaker USB SD TF Card MP3 Audio Player was blasting out David Gilmour's albums

I thought I may as well try and germinate some parsnip seeds in Chinese takeaway containers, nothing ventured.

With it being 35.4C in the potting shed and 24C outside and the promised cloud and overcast forecast between 12 noon and 2pm no where to be seen, I made my exit for the day and went home for lunch.
