I took the kids up the plot before it got too hot today. Tbf we were there until 12.45 so it was pretty toasty by the time we left. Annoyingly it looks like I might have lost a decent-sized squash due to not watering enough in the heat. Watered everything, sowed a load of autumn carrots, perpetual spinach, dwarf beans (not sure if they’ll crop in time) and radishes, potted up 4 tomato plants I grew from pinched out shoots, stuck in a little cucumber plant we bought from a church plant sale ages ago. Then picked some blackberries from the overgrown back of the plot. Some of them are huuuge. One of the blue hubbard squashes is getting pretty large, size 9 shoe for scale.
