SWELTER!!!

Dear heavens, it is HOT. and HUMID.
Even the thunderstorms don't cool things noticeably.

I'm not a tropical heat kind of person, I do much better in cooler climes.
I love summer up to 30C, then things go downhill fast.

My poor garden is reeling. Nothing is growing to production yet, except for the one broccoli plant (harvested, yum) and a few heads of salad. My courgettes refused to grow in the cold, then peeped up when it got warm and are now stunned by the heat, standing still. The gem squash, same thing. The fig tree, thank heaven for fig trees, is producing abundantly.
