Watered stuff for a while then directed another pumpkin out the back door at the other end of the polytrunnel. Then gave some belated maintenance to the tomatoes and melons. Quite a few tomato flowers were dropping off and a few with end rot. I put it down to the heat and not quite enough water. Picking Galina and gardeners delight now. The melons were all straggling on the ground. I've tied up the longest vines and taken the ends of any others. There are quite a few melons developing now. I tied up some roma tomato plants that were suffocating peppers and aubergines nearby. There are one or two aubergines coming, long purple I think which can be quite quick to develop.
