Wacky Weather

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

Frazzled Pup, you should have taken up the offer from Reddoggy about passing the hat around. I'm sure all us easterners would help out. Heard it's a little cooler over there in Perth today. How's the bonsai? It's a little brighter here in Sydney today with showers expected again this arvo. A bit muggy though. The plants are loving this weather. The doggies keep together. ;)

Wacky Weather to be sure! Ime in Brisbane and the temp at the moment is about26 deg. We have had solid rain for a few days now and it looks like going for at least another week. My garden is like a river and I have not been able to do any work on my bonsai, luckily they are all on benches well up above the water but they are getting the rain.There is a lot of local flooding with the creeks backing up and now they are releasing water from all the dams. You guys in WA must be having a hard time keeping your trees alive in that 40 deg temps and sooo dry to. Keep your trees alive where ever you may be and lets hope for a return to a more normal weather pattern soon.

Rain,Rain go away,come back another day, can`t work,all my trees are trimmed up, a few years ago they said it was never going to rain again, and spent billions on the de-sal plant, how wrong could they be, we have got to wait till July when the new tax comes in, that will fix it. :lol: :lol: :lol: Have not heard from a frazzled pup for a while,must have drunk all his beer and is now sleeping it off. :lol: :lol: :wave:

Not so long along we were being told to buy a tank. OK, so I bought one and what now it just overflows.
Wacky Weather all right! :o
