On the latest episode of Digging in with gardenstead, Katie chats with Hannah, aka @gingergrows1 on IG about the toughest challenge she’s faced in her allotment garden ➡️
☀️By far, Hannah’s most challenging time in the garden was the drought in England in the summer of 2022
🌡️ For three weeks, Hannah reports, temperatures in Newcastle were above 30˚C (86˚F) with very little rainfall
🥵Heat combined with a lengthy water deficit reduces a plant’s natural defenses
🍂Plants’ leaves wilt, become yellow and eventually drop in prolonged conditions
😯New growth is stunted
💦 Once damage is severe, no amount of watering can undo it
