Default Otter Valley, Devon - Summer 2007

Summary for Summer 2007

I have perceived this summer to have been the worst and windiest ever but
the stats soften the impact somewhat. It has been wet, no doubt about that
but even during the horrible July weather there were a few gloriously sunny
and warm days though we had to wait to the end of August for any really hot
days. The sheer dampness of this summer has shown itself in the prevalence
of potato and tomato blight which has ravaged my crops. Despite that though,
the warmth loving plants such as French beans, courgettes, chillies and
aubergines have thrived in the conditions giving one of the best crops for
years.

I think the reason why this summer will be thought of as awful is the
complete absence of any prolonged sunny weather during July. The summer
started warm and sunny, and it ended that way but the bit in the middle was
dominated by unsettled weather.
