How is everyone going?
In my world we are still in drought,I am hoping for good autumn/winter rains to fill the tanks and to see water in the dam would be a novel experience.
I am holding off planting/sewing seeds and seedlings until the ground is at least damp. Has anyone grown native plums? I have 2 treelings in pots at present and was wondering when would be the best time to put them in the ground?
Hi ballamara,
I hope you get some decent rain soon we’ve had a bit but not enough to fill the dam. I’ve got lots of trees to goin but waiting till we have enough water.
We’ve been so busy this is the first chance I’ve had to check in here.
No rain at all.It is getting to be a big worry.The sheep farmers around us have been feeding out for two years if not more. We sure could do with a good down pour. On the bright side we haven’t had to get the ride on mower out, better check it and see if the old girl will still start.
I’m trying to send it to you but it wont listen to me, we’ve been getting mizzle more mist than drizzle can’t do anything outside the grass and weeds are getting away from me….. Why is it weeds and grass only need to smell rain and they grow??
We finally got a bit of rain this week. I don’t think I will plant out any veggies just yet though.One thing is for sure the weeds will come up now lol
Looks like Winter is here, we haven’t had a frost yet but the temps have dropped last few mornings 1.5°C.
I have been busy the last few days in the garden planting seedlings of silverbeet and broccoli and taking cuttings of pepino, mugwort and wormwood took some about 10 days ago and they already have roots if more than what I need strike I’ll take them to the “Share” we have once a month.
I still have my fingers crossed for you ballamara.
