Hi to all,
Well summer is sort of here in South Africa,
This year the weather is mixed up with coolwet days being followed by 
extreme heat,a couple of weeks ago here in Cape Town it was 40c which 
is far above the norm,a lot of my Tomato flowers dropped because of 
it,my Plum crop was very small compared with last years harvest,this 
spring I put in a Peach and an Orange tree,all I got was blossom but 
I hope for a small crop next year,the Mullberry tree gave an 
excellent harvest,even if the birds had half of them,I took bags full 
to work as I couldn't eat them fast enough.
My thoughts go out to those on the list affected by the storms,fires 
and flooding around the world.
