  19. Heat wave mixed blessing, say gardenerspublished at 16:02 British Summer Time 27 July 2018

    Dominic Johnson
    BBC Radio Nottingham reporter

    Allotment-holders in Nottingham say this summer's high temperatures are proving both a blessing and challenge when it comes to growing fruit and veg.

    Members of the Windmill Community Gardens, external in Bobbers Mill are seeing bumper crops of vegetable varieties which usually thrive more in the Mediterranean climate but struggle here.

    However, a lack of rain is leading to other crops such as potatoes to perish before being harvested.
