Wasn't quite so hot today, only got to 32C but it has been close to 40C some days. On my frequent breaks I go into the cool store and lie on the floor !!!  Having been out with the boys when they harvest a site I don't know how they can do it every day. Some of our sites this year have been 7 supers high and the boys take a step ladder to take the boxes off. It looks like a better season so far.  👌 We've finished the Blackberry,  Rata/Towai and next week depending on the weather will start to harvest the Manuka sites.  Fingers crossed we can get a good price to make up for previous poor seasons.</p></blockquote><p></p>
