Richard RollinsonWent out early to get some picking done and had some more to share out. Cukes and zucchini have about had it now but the yellow sunburst squash is still rolling along like it was mid-July. Temps are still in the 90°F (32°C) range so not nice in the sun. We DID finally have a storm roll through just after noon that dropped ¾ inch (19mm) of rain in about half an hour. Looks like more on the way. At last. <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gardening</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Allotment</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/NewEngland" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NewEngland</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/zone6b" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#zone6b</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/gardening" class="u-url mention">@gardening</a>

YvanHave a weird garden tap... in the UK, what is an uncommon/old(?) thread size between the two usual thread sizes? (Which I assume are ½ and ¾ BSP?) [Edit: it seems likely it is probably a 5/8 BSP thread, would make sense given it is slightly bigger than 1/2 and smaller than 3/4... and such a thing does exist: <a href="https://www.wickes.co.uk/Hozelock-Inlet-Adaptor-for-Reels+Carts/p/235985" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.wickes.co.uk/Hozelock-Inlet-Adaptor-for-Reels+Carts/p/235985</a> - thanks to <a href="https://crispsandwi.ch/@sarahdal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@sarahdal</a> for suggesting 5/8!]<a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/Allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Allotment</a>

Richard RollinsonStill enjoying our corn-fest, although the ears are smaller now due to the dry weather. I had to irrigate the second and third plantings today in the hope that we'll see an improvement in the later developing ears. Still mighty tasty, though. <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gardening</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Allotment</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/NewEngland" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NewEngland</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/zone6b" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#zone6b</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/BeetBear" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BeetBear</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/SweetCorn" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SweetCorn</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/gardening" class="u-url mention">@gardening</a>

Jo RhodesLovely evening on the <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#allotment</a> chatting with the guys on the next door plot and swapping goodies.

Richard RollinsonWe've had no measurable rain for the last 15 days, and only about 1 inch (~25mm) in the last 30 days. It's getting seriously dry again. This has taken it's toll on the cucumbers & butternut squash as you can see in the photo. I think the cukes have had it, but I'll see what can be salvaged in the morning. The butternut squash harvest will be somewhat less than last year, but there are quite a few good-sized ones hiding in the foliage. <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gardening</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Allotment</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/NewEngland" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NewEngland</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/zone6b" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#zone6b</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/gardening" class="u-url mention">@gardening</a>

Richard RollinsonMy daughter shared this recipe, which could be used to make use of those zuccini that got too big.

Richard RollinsonCorn Conveyor Continues... Basically took the day off, except to pick corn and raspberries. Second planting is producing nicely. All the ears are still nice and free of pests, so far.

YvanDinner is all thanks to Kat because I got home too bushed to be of any use (esp after a frustrating fight with a house lock that I have decided is gonna need a date with an angle grinder.)Bibimbapping!A good selection of our own <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#allotment</a> bits on this: chard, kohlrabi, gherkin (as mini cues), shallot, and shiso... our own garlic in the meat too. (If I'd been more useful there may have also been some things with our own carrot, eggplant and zucchini too... as originally planned.)
