Seems to be a pattern now where we have wet periods high summer with warm, dry spells either side in spring and autumn. Quite warm at the moment, although chilly at night. The ground is very dry - and I've even taken to watering the raspberries as there are loads of fruit, just very small and currant like, and hoping they'll swell up.
Cleared the front box of leeks - will use that space for piling up soil as I move things around.
Tomatoes almost done. It has been best year yet for them down here. Amazingly there is a alot of blight on the plants but it hasn't spread all over - seems localised to truncks and a little on the leaves and just the odd actual fruit which I clear quickly. Must be the warm dry weather.
Digging up more potatoes than we need to eat, as I want to try and dig out another pit to fill with compost. Will try storing them at home and see if they keep. Aprt from needing the space, concerned if they stay in the ground too long they'll start to do that funny brown thing, or get wormed.
