Yesterday the heat and humidity was enervating so nothing useful done. The usual harvesting which foolishly I did at midday, I was dripping. Haircut and visitors took up the rest of the day. This morning we had a little bit of rain. YAY! The early morning forage resulted in an armful of broccoli shoots about to go to flower. Oh yes, I also culled a cucumber plant. Last year I bought a pkt of Honey Plus mini cucumber seeds, I grew a plant and the fruit was disgusting. I moaned at the supplier, can't remember who, and reluctantly got some freebie seeds as a sweetener. This year I gave it another go, to see if it would redeem itself, picking the cucs a lot smaller as the seed companies suggest. It was still disgusting. The plant went on the compost and the seeds are going in the bin. One to avoid IMO.
