Day 45 - Harvesting the crop we've been following
James here, the photo I just sent is of the crop I photographed before. We’ve been following its growth stages and it’s being harvested today.
I thought this would give you a feel for the rate a crop grows and how quickly it gets to harvest.
Althought looking at the photo, the weather conditions this morning make you feel it’s a completely different season to the previous photos. It’s 10 degrees and very chilly, more like a winter’s day rather than the hot summer that we’ve had (the forecast is to pick up again over the weekend and into next week).
We’re getting less and less crops now as we’re getting towards the end of the harvest here in Hull. There’s still a fair way to go yet, and everyone’s getting tired after 45 days on the trot like this with no respite. We won’t be under pressure as much next week and we can see the end coming. We just need to do everything we can to get the most out of the crops that are left…
OK, that’s it for now.
