The Return of Gardening Bore!
The garden is not looking too good at the moment. In the middle of the day, temperatures are around 35 C and there does not seem to be any prospect of significant rain.
Yes, we did gather about four kilos of cherries from the trees at the very far corner of the garden and they were yummy. 
As for the artichokes, Keith and Lorraine did not eat them after all. By the time we came back from Greece, there was a big flower and the bees were very happy. The tomatoes are coming along were, despite the heat. Yes, some of the leaves on the tomato plants are looking decidedly shrivelled, but the actual fruit (well, yes, tomatoes really are a fruit) are looking pretty good.
As for the lawn, there is more bad new. The tractor mower, my pride and joy, is hors de combat yet again. As there has been so little rain, the soil has dried out and so an old tree root was more exposed than usual. One of the blades on the mower seems to have been damaged and so Garden Max are going to give me quite a hefty bill for the fixing of it.

Not quite garden related, but I have been stripping the wooden columns and repainting them with linseed oil and then old engine oil.
