The weeds in my lawn are revived.
Plotwise, most crops are fine, beans have stopped flowering, but hopefully may try again. The clay layer below has remained moist (4" down) and the mulch upon the nodig has done its job. Potatoes planted in manure/compost/leafmold are clean, polished and with a good result, approx 60Kg from 50 tubers. Varieties : Apache, Charlotte. Pink fir apple still to harvest- be a couple more weeks subject to blight-
Main problem is everything has peaked at the same time!
The small amount of rain (gratefully received) has permitted sowing of the August selection of autumn crops mainly those leafy things to stand into the winter under cloches/fleece covers such as endives, Hilde lettuce, spring onions, mitzuna, kotsuma, chinese cabbage, spinach
