Perth and Adelaide are sweltering, Melbourne hot as well, lots of rain up and down the east coast and the possibility of cyclones forming in the gulfs...how is everybody and their plants coping?

Just had to don a raincoat and move a few plants. The tank overflow can't cope with this much rain and I have a waterfall that was waterblasting mix out of the pots underneath it

bloody hot and dry here , ready need an inch or more to make a big differance , looks like a slim chance this weekend. trees seem fine atm except one japanese larch that got caught in those 40+ a few weeks back suffered, buds look fine but needles not so great. ill be p%*# off if i loose it but my fault really.
Bring some of that rain down here!

Weird but at least it is not too hot here, only had a few days over 30 so far.
Lots of humidity tho which is ordinary

Just had an update on the weather to expect in Perth for the next 7 days just 2 days below 40 that is tomorrow 39 and Friday 39 sat is going to go to 42 you bloody ripper.

No work or fertilising this week JUST watering. I think it might need a bit more than usual wishing, apparently this breaks the record, thats if it does this, that has stood since 1865.

A bothered Pup good for a coldy weather though.

predicted 37 here pup than 35 next 2 days maybe rain on sunday than down to 23 on monday with 7 at night cant believe the rain in SE QLD give me just 10 % of it

Talk about Wacky Weather. Just travelled down from the Sunshine Coast. It was humid up there. Left Sunday arvo just before the big storms and I believe it's been raining ever since. Came down the New England Hwy, at Armidale absolutely freezing then on to Tamworth and the Country Music Festival, dry and hot. Just after that, rain, rain and more rain. Now home in Sydney and it hasn't stopped raining. Where's Summer gone?

Hi Pup,

Hi Witchstreet did you call into any of the nurseries up there,I believe they are pretty good,nice place to spend a day or two,some people get proposed to in them apparently.

Hey Reddoggy
Called in to Red Dragon at Currumbin - great display and a must see! Travelled to Northside Bonsai - nice display and good stock. Well worth the trip. Proposals eh? Watch out Reddoggy it's a leap year.

Wacky, Wacky Weather all right! Poor Pup is panting. Have another drink matey and we'll send the rain over!

I think us east coast bonsai tragic`s better hand the hat around so Pup and his mates can buy a keg of beer tomorrow as I have just heard on the news it is going to be 42 degrees.

Here, south of Adelaide we have what feels like weeks of mid 30's,
Today, finally rain predicted
What has been my issue though is tremendous gale force gully winds every evening, took the annometer out the other night 68 kph, branches breaking off of the large euc's. Fortunately the bonsai are coping well, though the pre bonsai stock keeps getting blown over
I have never experienced such a long spell of constant wind.
cept the time I ate 4 tins of beans

I'm at work at the moment (Sydenham). Looks like it wants to rain, the humidity is killing me, every now and then a nice breeze comes around.

Looks like they got it wrong again we have not got the expected heat YET. I thank you for your sentiments of a KEG. I usually have bought for me at Christmas two cartons of Beer one my favorite Kilkenny the other any of the lagers.
That is the first to go as the hangers on drink that and leave my Kilkenny, which lasts me a couple of months, as one or two now and again with a chaser is the norm, but with this weather it has gone!! So your offer would be welcome.

At the moment it is at 11-30 am only 35 with humidity at 42 percent very sticky.

Avery frazzled Pup.
