When it comes to the weather this year, things are looking up compared to last year. It seems a long time since we had a decent Summer. 2012 was terrible, many things in the garden suffered and did not achieve their best with the continuous wet.
It has not been exactly ideal this year, but it is looking up to be reasonable Summer.

Many plants that were suppressed last year are looking decidedly perkier than last year. The garlic in the garden promises to be very good, no sign of rust on the leaves that had already shown itself by this time last year.
The continuous wet without much in the way of drying out periods encouraged the rust fungus to thrive. It does depress the size of the heads, but at least garlic is tough enough to produce something of worth even with rust on the leaves.
The weather men are promising even warmer weather ahead, and sunshine! Welcome.
