Brrr! A wet July makes you want to cry!

It seems likely that this summer in Britain will be as big a washout as the last, with what I’ve been calling the ‘British Monsoon’ season well underway. Rain, rain, and more rain, with the occasional hefty dose of thunder and lightning as well. Can it be any more depressing?

With the whole world talking about the food crisis, even if talking is all we can expect from our political leaders, it’s likely that British farmers and growers of produce in their own back gardens are all going to suffer losses, as many vegetables don’t react well to being drowned, particularly root crops. What’s more, it’s next year that the real impact of this year will be felt.
