As forecast it’s been sunny and warm this week with the temperature reaching around 30 C/85 F yesterday. I’ve been going to the plot earlier than usual, doing (a lot) less and coming home earlier.
The first early potatoes Pentland Javelin have finished flowering but the foliage hasn’t yet started dying back but whilst checking the two rows I found this potato just under the surface. As you can see it’s surprisingly big for a first early.
I wasn’t going to start looking and lifting any for a couple more weeks but I’m tempted to see if I can find another one this size for Sunday dinner.
It’s been a really good year for strawberries and I’ve been bringing home more than I usually do, as well as eating a few whilst I’m there and giving some away.
Thankfully it’s cooler today and next week it will be in the low 20’sC/low 70’s F which is much more to my liking.
Have a good weekend and take care!

I hope your strawberries taste as delicious as they look Mike.
I picked my first lot of strawberries yesterday and ate some too while on the plot!
Happy plotting and take care xx
