hot weather

[mart]

Thanks Charles, no worries escaroles are under way as is rocket and some chinese friends. Half of my first batch burned but some survived and yesterday I sowed a new load. I have a Escarole cuore pieno, do you know how similar is to Bubikopf, tempting to buy last one, I like the name, can’t find it here however and already have 7 types of chicory, yes I like the stuff. In your book (p214.)you mention Lisbon and Ishikura in one sentence, do you use the same time to sow those? On my packet sowing dates for Lisbon Hardy is 2 to 3 months earlier, in the past I have had more succes with Ishikura and Kaigaro. Normal Lisbon was a fail, might be bad seeds.
We have waterbombers in the air today again, leftover tomatoes get roasted on the plants, well saves energy, no oven needed.
