We know that you’re probably quite enjoying the sunshine. After months of cold and gloomy weather it’s nice to finally catch some rays as they say. At Peppersmith HQ the first espadrilles of the season have come out and we’ve even had to move our Dave away from the windows – with the combination of his lovely fair skin and the bars on our windows we were afraid he’d end with grill marks.
But the summer’s not just about ridiculous footwear and medium-rare Irishmen. No as the seasons start to change it’s time for the warm weather crops to come into their own. Right now our Black Mitcham peppermint should be thriving at the end of a nice wet spring. The problem is spring hasn’t actually been very wet. Unfortunately all the recent rain managed to almost completely bypass the mint crop (we were predicted 25mm of rain and got a measly 1mm) and they are now bone dry and struggling.
Now we don’t expect you to be wishing the sun away or gathering your friends together for a ceremonial rain dance on Shepherd’s Bush roundabout. But if it does start to rain this weekend hopefully you can find some solace in the fact that our peppermint will be very happy indeed.
