Lots of thunder, heavy rain squall about 2 cm(heavy compared to recent weeks)
Big bang close by, lost power for a while but now back on. Its sunny but much cooler now. More wet stuff to come later by all accounts.
Veg look a bit happier, but the lettuce are now looking as if they intend to bolt too. Every last one. That's potatoes harvested early, peas never amounted to much more than a few pods before they went brown and died, cauliflowers bolted and gone, along with all the onions. Sigh, it all looked so good earlier this year.
Sweetcorn tomatoes and courgettes are fine, squash are hanging in carrots and parsnips still look limp and purple and green beans though looking blasted are still producing .
Rain, blessed rain! From now till Thursday and I'll be happy enough to try some autumn planting to make up for the losses.
