This week has been hot and humid week, especially this weekend. I haven’t really had the energy to do much gardening really due to the weather. I’ve never been a fan of hot weather, so I don’t really know how I ended up in Sydney based on this fact!

Anyway, my dahlia is still flowering, even though the plant as a whole is looking a little worse for wear due to the heat! I am going to look at getting a red and purple dahlia to join this one for next summer, so I hope that this survives the winter.

My sweetcorn cob is still growing thankfully. It won’t get very far between three of us once it’s ready, but the taste will hopefully be great!

The one tomato I had ripening up tasted fabulous once it was ripe, as home grown tomatoes always do. It wasn’t big, but the taste made up for the lack of size! I do have some very, very small tomatoes that have just started growing this week. I hope they have chance to grow and ripen before winter.

My beans are growing really fast at the moment. Stakes got put in yesterday and I hope to get a useful crop this time!

With other seedlings sown at the same time as the beans, it’s still only brassicas and beetroot that’s germinated so far.

Short and sweet this week as I am rather fed up with summer heat! Bring on the cooler weather of autumn and winter!
