Nigel Gnome grows a vegetable: Hot summer day

Almost 30 degrees Celsius and far too hot to do much in the garden at all. I did however pull out the giant pile of bobica beans plants and got a last good last handful of beans from them. the smaller dwarf bean plants are still producing lots and they are finer longer ones and much nicer to eat, I soaked a handful of new seeds, a mix of yellow and green dwarf bean seeds in a saucer of water last week and some sprouted within 5 days of putting them in the garden. The tomato plants are all producing beautiful fruit and I remove them and ripen in the shed in the dark once they start changing colour. The birds start to peck holes in the ripe ones they can easily reach perching on the support. Plums are dropping a dozen a day and I have made a treehouse platform for the cat to try to curb the blackbirds' enthusiasm for them. We do get more than enough and have already made a desert batch of sauce and are preparing for a more Asian inspired plum sauce for things like BBQ ribs etc. There are a few rock melons forming on the trellis, looking forward to slurping on those soon :)
