It was SO hot here today. Clear and hot. Cloudy and hot. Just hot. Especially out in the scrub changing a grader tyre.

I put in new lettuce and tomato seedlings yesterday (morning sun, afternoon shade position) and the lettuces are just flat, dried leaves lying on the dirt. I broke my own cardinal rule for gardening up here....get your shade up first, then plant.

End of whinge.

One of the reasons I do not grow our food, we would starve if I had to grow our own

Keith,
Don't worry about the lettuce...
Dysart has a great swimming pool!

Has been to hot to plant here even in the aquaponic system, herbs starting to bolt to seed. Good rain over the last two days most welcome.

Hi Robert Not Bob, aquaponics-the answer to food security

A few around here reckons it's good for financial security as well..... especially after the 'crop' is sold.

They must be growing special herbs Bruce, I wouldn't have thought that there was enough room on a houseboat to do that.
Weather wise we have had about 90mm of rain since yesterday. The grass is growing and the birds are singing. It must be spring time.

Darling Bwuce, that’s HYDROPONICS you’re talking about pet.

Not over hot here the last couple of days, new air cons installed yesterday (thanks Boss!) one right over the kitchen sink which is fantastic because now my sweat won’t be dripping into the dishwater.
