Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
Zsazsa picking (and eating) blueberries. She is much quicker at doing this than I am. We had one shower last week which lasted about an hour. But since then it has just been hot and dry. Daytime highs are around 28C and nighttime the temperatures are briefly going below 10C due to clear skies and a slightly longer period of darkness. We need to close the polytunnel at night now to retain some of the heat and avoid a large diurnal range in temperature which will stress the plants. Pickings:
Everything in the polytunnel is coming on really well (cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, pumpkins etc) but laborious watering at least twice a day is absolutely essential.
