My house more or less overlooks the Thames estuary and the wind has been blowing from that direction all through the 'hot' days. <br />Now that the wind has changed direction and dropped we are experiencing a belated heatwave, with temperatures around 29 degs. Even last evening it was still 26 degs at 9 o'clock.<br />At least it has been clear sunny skies all the way through, so thats a bonus.<br />The trouble is, the greenhouse knows nothing of windchill factors so consequently the temperatures have been 35 plus in there so I have had to treat the plants to a jolly up on water. If water was beer I'd have tipsy tomatoes and paralytic peppers!<br /><br />Speak to you over the e-garden fence soon.<br />GeorgeGeorge W Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540154597001353372noreply@blogger.com
