A Summer of Heatwave and Drought
Gardeners have suffered, plants shrivelling and perishing….. but it is perhaps our Farmers that have suffered the worst, grass not growing for cattle grazing and whilst harvesting has been easier in many ways, the yield had been poor. Short stems and lower quality seed heads, second crops of hay not an option for many, straw in short supply.
At least this farmer has been able to harvest much of his crops, two barns of Straw and two of Hay…. will it be enough?.
Now I wonder what the autumn has in store for all of us…. best we, as always….
Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other
