Hattie the Hen
Deeply Rooted
Hi boggy b !!
Great avatar & a great blog..........I love the dog too!
My it is hot here, they say it is 84*F but it feels a lot hotter in the sun. I know this is not so bad compared to what some of you suffer but not many people have A/C here. I'm lucky as my house is made of a very old construction which is basically a clay mud & straw mixture, called Wychert. It is verycool in summer & warm in winter. It was one of six built in the 1920's by a local builder who specialised in this method. I think the construction should be revived. There is a local man who repairs them & adds to them. It is a very local thing but there are buildings still standing from hundreds of years ago.
My vegetables are loving the weather but I need to keep up the watering & mulching. My corn is now shoulder height and looking great......I'm thrilled. My bean & peas wont be long before I get a good harvest -- the peas are nowover 6ft tall & in full flower.
Good luck to you all & may your harvests be huge........
