We we’re struggling to keep the sandy soil wet whilst we were at home, with daily watering, but the extreme heat and not a drop of rain will have left the veg bed bone dry. My dad would normally go and water up for us but Mr GM went to get our spare house key a couple of weeks ago and didn’t get round to giving it back to him 😤😤😤
