Today we unstacked one of the potato tyres. There was a lot of dirt for relatively few potatoes but enough to fill a box. I’m never quite sure when to pull them apart but I’ll leave the other one for a while and plant some 2nd crop potatoes soon and see how those go.

Also Simon cooked a great batch of roast veg tonight; scallopini, chillies, capsicum and beetroot from the garden and onion and kumara from the shop.

Weather is still very hot, though today amplifier.co.nz wrote, referring to Melbourne’s 43 degree heat:

That might sound hot but Melbourne has 3.8 million people. Auckland yesterday got to 25 degrees and we’ve only got 1.3 million people. That means that per capita it was actually hotter in Auckland.
