Get ready, heatwave coming.

The Golden Disk has gone from here too this morning At 5am it was lovely and warm. Now there is grey cloud and I've had to put a cardigan on! Hey Ho....at least nothing else will get frazzled today.

[veggiechicken]

Oh yes- but of course!
Thanks for the loan of it!

Thanks Nicos, Sun parcel arrived safely, delicately wrapped in fluffy clouds and tied with mare's tails! Most grateful for its safe return

You're welcome to it Marion...erm...I mean VC.
Any chance of someone sending heavy rain my way on Friday night? Please? Pretty please?

Hoping for swollen rivers again, Pa/Robin?

Garden thermometer is reading just 14 degrees! This time yesterday it was already 22!

S'lovely here, but a definate breeze has sprung up. This may be a good thing, as it was claustraphobicly hot last night....

And my 4 water butts are now 1/3 empty (or 2/3 full!!)

Hazy and humid here - after yesterday's heat we had a thunderstorm last night which saved me from having to water. I went out early this morning and finished digging and stomping down the west bed, then decided it was just too sticky and came back in.

The seedlings are loving it, though - can't believe how fast the runners and sweet peas are growing.

lovely here today after it being cold and grey again yesterday. Hoping for some nice weather tomorrow when I don't have to go to work to get the carrots and brassicas weeded.

Beautiful day on east coast of Ireland...hope weekend is the same....

It's reading 47°c in that poly with both ends off and I just can't stand it. I've only been in for two mins and had to come out again

Another scorcher here today. The greenhouse with window open, door ajar and fleece clipped in place to diffuse the sunlight managed to hit hit 44°C in there. Just carried 75 litres of water down to the garden to top up the rapidly-emptying water butt. It's a pain when you don't have an outside tap and live in a first floor flat. Please let it rain...and yes Maid VC, I do keep praying for a swollen river, in fact a full-on spate would be good but it ain't gonna happen any time soon.

I'm sorry but a few days ago everyone was complaining about soggy squelchy gardens ......there's no pleasing some ....

[Bren In Pots]

I'm loving this summer and so are my veggies

[binley100]

In a perfect world it'd be soggy at night and shiny in the day but ......as we know nothing is perfect

[veggiechicken]

Could somebody turn the sun down, its reflecting on the screen as I sit outside with a tepid drink!!

Not quite everyone I've been watering mine fairly constantly for a couple of months, occasionally it decided to rain and I got a break.

[Moo's Mum]

Well I wish I'd kept my mouth shut!! It turned out to be ridiculously hot this afternoon. When I let work at 10pm this evening it was still 24 degrees!
