Finally an update ! Patch has suffered badly lately, we coped 4 days ( 14-17 Jan )over 41 C (106 F ) in a row with the day before being just under 40 C, with most night staying over 30 C (86 F ) And to make matters worse the power company turned our power off as they belive the line to our house was a fire danger ( which is there part of the line, as ours is all underground ). However if the guys from the power company had turned up to do their job the power would be 100 % underground, then there would have been no problem. Due to no power I could water from the normal pump. I did tap into our cows drinking water, but when 700 cows plus 150 heifers plus 100 calves are drinking in the heat of the day not much water gets to my garden. So plants took a beating but most plants are still alive, however most pumpkins aborted or stopped growing. A few have starting growing again but very slow.
