This week has been a warm week, with Friday and Saturday being hot-on Saturday it reached 40 degrees Celcius (way too hot for my liking!). Today (Sunday) has been cooler, humid and the odd rain shower.

Due to the heat, I haven’t done much in my garden this week apart from water all my plants. I have potted on the bean seedlings today. I only sowed the seeds last weekend, but they grow really quickly so that was worth doing. The rest of my seedlings need to be potted up soon too, but I need to get some more pots before I can do that-this will be a job for me on the way home from work in the coming week.

My other plants are going well, despite the heat. My cucumber plant has had plenty of flowers and my other cucurbits are growing well. Many of my tomato plants are doing well, with one looking like flowers will appear soon. I’m really excited about getting some produce appearing in my little garden!

I’ve also seen butterflies in my garden too this week. As an extra benefit of having plants around, I do like having wildlife around, in all its forms.
