It's the end of June and we're basking in a heatwave here in Yorkshire, but one business in South Yorkshire is planning for Christmas.
The Sheffield Christmas Tree company, near Stannington, has 22,000 Christmas trees on its site and staff there are already well getting ready to shift thousands of trees in December.
This December's trees were planted about 10 years ago, but they've only just got to a sellable size.
Travis Hallam, who works on the farm, started growing trees as a way of making a bit more money alongside the farming side of the business.
"We planted a few trees 10 years ago and got a little bit carried away. We have 22,000 now," says Travis.
"My wife Lynn is chief-pruner and shaper and she does a great job all year round."

A £30,000 cannabis farm and birds used for illegal cockfighting have been found by police during raids at traveller sites in South Yorkshire.
Officers also found stolen vehicles and other items, including power tools, at the sites in Doncaster.
Police say they're hoping to crack down on theft and modern day slavery as part of what's known as Operation Fiesta.
BBC Look North was given exclusive access to the raids where police found a cannabis factory which was wired up to a streetlight to steal power.
RSPCA inspectors accompanying the police also rescued birds which had injuries consistent with cockfighting.
One police officer told the BBC: "The majority of these people are law abiding community members.
"However a small minority of that community - as with every other community - does engage in criminal activity. It is those people, who are stepping outside of the law, that we look to tackle."
It's the fifth year of the Ilkley Cycle Races, with West Yorkshire Olympians the Brownlee brothers expected to take part later.
Triathletes Alistair and Jonny are among the competitors who will race around a 1.5km circuit which has a sharp hill turn and a high-speed finish.
A large crowd is expected to turn out to watch as cyclists from around the country take part in the event this evening.
A large crack in Scarborough's cliff path, which caused the closure of several beach chalets earlier this year, is believed to have been caused by a collapsed wall, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Image source, Katie NoonThe South Bay chalets have been closed to the public since March and are now leaning at a 45-degree angle after large cracks appeared in the path.
A report to Scarborough Borough Council confirms the cliff-top crack is believed to have been caused by the failure of a retaining wall.
The report says the possibility of a landslip was ruled out after a rock was found close to the wall.
It remains unclear what caused the wall to fail.
The council is now looking for a contractor to reinstate the wall at South Bay to protect the Clock Cafe, which sits above the chalets.
Last week, Scarborough Council was forced to release a statement denying rumours the popular cafe would be demolished.

The fire is sweeping across an Area of Special Scientific Interest.

One local resident told the BBC he could "hardly breath" and his "eyes were burning" due to the fire:
Fashion designer Wayne Hemingway has been in North Yorkshire as part of a bid to get young people to live in the Dales.
Image source, PAIt's all part of the Great Place: Lakes and Dales initiative, which is about persuading young people to live in the countryside rather than in the big cities.
The designer says he hopes people will either stay in the Dales or, if they have already moved away, think about returning there.
Areas like the Dales have 44% fewer 16 to 34-year-olds than the national average and "if you lose them young, then places die", he said.
"We don't want that happening to beautiful places like this", he added.
It's going to be a warm day for most, but it will be cooler along the coast where there will be patchy mist, fog and low cloud to start.
However, this will burn away to leave a dry and sunny day.
Tonight will be dry with long clear spells, but mist, fog and low cloud is expected to spread off the North Sea, and could push inland.
