>It was over 27C yesterday and the Sun baked all the allotments. I called in after work to see what damage was done and to try an revive my newly planted beans, squash and corn. The stone mulch seems to have done the trick as they were looking much better. Many watering cans of water later and all the plants looked very happy.  The temperature suppposedly dropped overnight and should be around 18 C for Tuesday.  I hope that growth will take over survival.
