It seems as though summer is finally here. Well, I wrote those words about ten days ago when the temperature was the early 20's and it stayed at about 23/24 degrees C. (my comfort zone ) until today. There is a devastating heatwave with wildfires in Australia, mainly in the south, and their weather tends to come over here. Today it is 29 degrees, possibly 30 and tomorrow is forecast for 31 degrees. The first load of washing was dry when I put the second load out. Watering every night again. Still, apart from going to the Growers' Market I managed three loads of washing done and folded, made a loaf of bread and cooked mussels in white wine for lunch. Will shortly put my feet up to read for an hour then we will both be watering. The forecast is for the days to get cooler with 26 degrees C. on Friday.
It has been a busy week with the Walking Group starting again, a visit to meet new great-grandson, a meet up at the Town Basin with a friend from the Far North who now lives in Auckland and was driving north with her two daughters who were 4 and 5 when we first met and are now in their mid 50's, one lives in Auckland the other was visiting from Melbourne plus visits from daughters and cousins.
The garden keeps changing and I am picking a good quantity of beans daily and giving a lot away.
Tomatoes on the first five plants are just starting to ripen.
I can feel the sunshine radiate from your tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteMy sis in law in the Bay of Plenty sent me photos of her tomatoes. A bumper crop and they look so red and luscious.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful garden as usual.
We have the smaller tomatoes ripening at a very fast rate, the larger ones a bit slower. Quite warm here but not as hot as you or those In Australia who must be dreading every day.But we do have some passionfruit that should be turning colour any day, I look at them and tell myself they are " Pure Gold"!!!Way to expensive to buy.
