It is extremely hot and humid here today (for that, read 90+ degrees, feeling more like 100 thanks to the humidity). The upstairs of our house is like a sauna, and this has the effect of driving the young Exiles to the relative cool of downstairs. So it was that we all found ourselves in one room this afternoon. Even more shocking, phones were set aside and we were all reading books. It may not happen often but it’s nice when it does.
I ventured out once in the heat to spray the zucchini with milk and water. Apparently this is supposed to help with the powdery mildew that the dankness of our garden encourages . I’m just hoping it doesn’t smell too bad by now. Fortunately, it hasn’t slowed the plants down too much yet. We enjoyed more zucchini for dinner and are looking forward to a nice lot of beans tomorrow. The tomatoes are still looking green but with this sunshine, I don’t think it will be too long.
Looks like your chillis are thriving too!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed - while my attention has been on the showy beans and courgette plants in the big raised bed, this little collection of pots and planters has been doing quite well. I hasten to add that Exile #2 has been attending to these with just as much care as the other plants.
