We have had so much rain up here in Brisbane in the bast month (half of our yearly average already)

I have started to bring in some of my tress and put them under cover for a few days just to dry out a little

Also giving he a chance do do a little work on them as well

Cheers

You would be very welcome to send some down this way

Yes would you Queenslanders and northern nsw folk PLEASE stop been so greedy and send some to us

I am sure we would be more than happy to send it down south if we could, we have had enough for the moment

I have had enough rain to last me for a while
I haven't had to pick up a hose for nearly a month (don't even know where they are!) I'm getting stir crazy cant get out to prepare for winter haven't even fertilised for a month
The lawn looks like a paddock mud everywhere grass a foot long wish we could send some to you people who need it
Just as an aside has anyone had trouble with their howitiis?One of mine has just about defoliated and is looking pretty sick there are a few new buds about to shoot but it seems they don't like high humidity and rain and high temps hope it pulls through

Please take a deep breath and blow hard. Send the rain this way. As for the acacia, I'd be placing it under cover on top of say a milk crate or something where it would be allowed to drain freely. Give it time to recover. Good luck!

Thanks fireworks have already done that a few weeks ago as soon as I saw what was happening . I have noticed this before with heavy summer rains ( especially the last few wet years up here ) I'm not sure it is a drainage problem since in my experience they love a bit of water in the summer.
Maybe we are too far out of their native area?
Thanks Steve

Incredible run of weather we are having here in Melbourne..
I cannot remember a summer as good as the one just gone and Autumn is looking like a cracker so far as well.

No lower than 31 degree's on the 7 day outlook this week for Melb.

Admittedly far too dry but the consistent heat and run of hot weather is incredible.
As far as hot goes it hasn't been really "too hot" either.. Just a good low to mid 30s for the most part...

Cheers,

My trees are going wild with this weather. Putting on grow like never before. Just have to keep the water up to them. I just hate going outside when it's this hot. By the time it cools down in the evening, I can't be bothered.

Go on, rub it in you Vic's!!

And then on tonights weather report they tell us the BOM are watching a system out in the Coral Sea that could turn into a cyclone. What next? The only thing Mother Nature hasn't thrown at us is damn SNOW!!!!!

But you know what? Pretty damn soon our weather will return to it's "Beautiful one day, perfect the next" system and yours will return to .................................... well you know whats ahead, don't need me to tell you. (But you guys do know what that snow stuff is about)

Did I tell you I too am sick of this rain?
