Heatwave

We've been having July weather for weeks now.

And it's only mid-June, not even midsummer.
Last year I planted out my basils after midsummer, cos the nights were too cold until then.

All the early summer flowers are over and done with - most of them lasted less than a week.

The dandelions were especially spectacular this year, with hillsides all over the place being just yellow.

And I wanted to get pics of various flowering mountain ashes (Sorbus sp.), but all of them flowered out last week.

We were a couple hundred km to the north earlier this week, but alas, they were over the hill up there, too.

Shrug - there will be other years.
