In Melbourne?

Australian conditions vary from one extreme to another. What do you do and when do you do it?

I put some wire on a couple of trees 2 weeks ago before I went away. I got home last night and :o it's starting to cut in, the have gone ballistic with this weather. Think I might have to start growing some tropical plants soon :lol:
The worst part is I have to mow the grass more often :shake:

I have to admit, if I wasn't bothered by the lack of rain and danger of bushfires, I can't remember having seen a better summer.

Cheers,
Mojo

Another day of Sunshine and over 40, this has been the hottest summer since 1973, and today is expected to reach 38/9 with a storm.
So we will again know what it is like to live in the tropics, the only plus is if it does rain no watering needed.

So to all you members that live with humidity, HOW do you manage, I must admit it does help my breathing living in a humidifier.

I also know what it would be like when I meet lucifer :twisted:
