@yvan thank you for that lovely tour! That's a pretty big allotment, isn't it? Looks beautiful!
For Americans watching, you might want to note that your 30 degrees is celsius and not fahrenheit. Otherwise, they'll be confused.
Oh, and beware the wisteria. Keeping them under control is huge work, although properly pruned they are magnificent. Don't let it wind around the timbers of your support unless you're ok with them being literally crushed in about a decade

@deepmud I've lived with a big wisteria before and know how thuggish their growing habits can be! This came with the plot and I couldn't just turf it, it's a skinny little thing but I'm giving it a chance to live. And by a decade from now it'd likely be someone else's problem 😅 though a decade can pass all too quickly, and who really knows. I am certainly not where I would have expected to be at if asked a decade ago. Our double plot is about a normal UK full allotment plot size. But yeah, that is a decent size!
