Yay it's raining in Perth!

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

Yay it's raining in Perth!

Post by Mount Nasura »

:worship: some welcome solid rain in Perth! Grabbed my box trolley and put my undercover ficus etc out to join the others for a good old natural soaking first time for a very long time! Very happy right now. I think pup had a tally of 60-70 plus days over 30 degrees and with out rain for more then long enough. This is a great day. :clap:

Last time it rained here in my patch was the 30th of November, yesterday we got 12.2 mls great but we need more. First time I have turned the sprinklers off for a long time.

Cheers Pup

Wasn't quite sure what was happening at first :P Go figure it rained the one night a friend had a 30th party lined up in an outdoor beer garden :palm:

Was a bit too patchy to skip watering though, better safe then sorry :)
