Crappy week, cracker weekend.

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

Crappy week, cracker weekend.

Melbourne certainly showed us that we are still in winter this week, this weekend looks like the polar opposite, (at least west of the city) Have a good one where ever you are :wave:

Damian, on Thursday I was working in the shed during the afternoon and it was 1.8 degrees inside and snowing outside. Makes today's breezy conditions with intermittent drizzle seem lovely :lol:

Cheers,
Mojo

Saw a lady literally get blown off her bike the other day, same day I got home and half the collection were on their sides over here in west Melbourne.
Bonsai is not a rational act.

Oh Mojo, A Shed :o You lucky, lucky bugger :x The roof over the sawmill kept the hail off until after lunch when the wind picked up. Then it was wet AND cold so I packed up and went down to work in the nice cosy shed for the rest of the afternoon where it was at least dry.
Cracker day today weatherwise but I've run out of 15cm pots. :( ... and osmocote.... :shake:.. and the potting mix bin is getting pretty low too.

I hear you (just) Mojo. I was working in Sassafras on Thursday with a tin roof over us. What was that? My ears are still ringing and I have just got feeling back in my toes. Somewhat of an exaggeration but who posted that topic about spring 1 month early? :lost:
