June:
The heat and dry weather these past weeks has left us in no doubt that summer is
definitely here and the kids, newly released from the confines of school, are looking
forward to even more sun for their summer holidays… but on the Farm we hope for
rain between the rays and moderately warm temperatures. After an unseasonably
cold April/start of May where frost threatened plants very late in the season (we had
them snuggling under fleeces even in the tunnels!) we headed straight into
spectacularly hot weather and drought, where four times daily watering was
necessary to keep the plants alive…we even had to water some field crops.
