I wish the rain was here Len.

The forecast led me to believe I would wake up to the 'glorious' stuff
falling and my garden sighing with relief. But alas, not a drop.

And the sun even managed to shine hazily for a while making it feel warm
and humid as there was no wind.

A maximum 20.8C with a DP of 18C for most of the afternoon.

Still, the toms in the garden have loved this weather and their first
flowers have appeared. The chillies and cucumbers have done well too and
are well ahead of their normal size for this time in June. The runners are
not doing so well and have only just reached the top of their canes.


Only 3.1mm here Nick. Not really needed as the soil is still quite moist an
inch down. You complain about your runners, mine are only 6 inches high.
However, my greenhouse toms have 3 trusses now and are thriving.
