Mr Fothergill's Beetroot 'Remove' cylindrical variety

have been growing happily in my shaded greenhouse all through the July heatwave. It didnt seem to affect them at all.
I put 4 seedlings in 4" pots as an experiment.
Just kept them in a tray of water, sprayed with water
when it was really too hot for anything to survive. They were quite happy in there, with the door open.
As Beetroot grow on until the end of November, am now
sowing the rest of the packet. Will keep them in the same situation, using later on, as required.
Will get a new packet next year and do the same again.
Tomato ‘Sweet and Neat’ will be in a raised bed after June 1st next year.
We have to learn from plants how to help them survive without gallons of water in unexpected hot weather.
Thought other members may be interested.

With not having a greenhouse I keep trying tomatoes outside; they start off very promisingly then always fall to blight. Waiting to see how they do this year. Hallo Snoopdog by the way-thought you'd gone AWOL.
