I might not have been too keen on the heat this week, but the peppers and tomatoes have loved it!

Forecasted temperatures for my area this week. It's possible it could reach 40c on Thursday which is quite ridiculous. It's the UK, not the tropics! Keeping the plants watered and polytunnels cool will be the biggest challenge this week.

AAARRGGGHHH!
It seems the awful weather we've had has caused the dreaded early blight to make an appearance, on the potatoes.
As well as some other issues...
More in the next video! 😬
On a positive note, swipe for some lovely calendula 🌼

Who else's veggies have started to bolt?
Some of mine have, and it's no surprise.
33c highs a few weeks ago.
But now? Daytime highs of 13-14c with wind and rain. Night temperatures back into single figures.
What on earth is going on???

Peppers are one of those crops which can be a challenge, and many people have issues growing them (including myself)
But I've made a video containing everything I know about growing peppers - which I hope will help some people ⬇️

Bit hot in the polytunnel today. And that's with the double doors open at each end...
I think we need some solar fans...
