Here in Gloucestershire it has not rained for weeks and the water butts are bone dry.
I sowed cabbage , kale and broccoli on 24th June and have just pricked on. I normally sow in the greenhouse but that is like an oven at present even with all windows and doors open and shading painted on. So I decided to sow in seed trays in a cold frame which I have covered with Greenhouse shading mesh which should also keep the cabbage white butterflies out. So far so good but also the cold frame has been moved to the side of the house which gets less sun. So here’s hoping.
