We had a storm here last night. The pots were covered in plastic sheeting just in case the rain blew in. So much rain stretched the plastic to make a couple of reservoirs and osmosis did the rest.........all night. There will probably be more to reclaim when I have a good look.

Re: Another "Oh Bugger" Moment.
Oh Bugger is right...
Hope you were able to salvage some pots to fire. I am sure you will still make a great showing in Gosford this weekend.
I had hoped to make it down to see the show but with my own oh bugger moment I doubt I will be able to (Gus ran head first thru the glass sliding door, I pick him up from vet at 5.30 tonight)

Hi Dean.
I had read your posts earlier about the rain and water problems. I hope your trees (and yard) recover and you don't lose any.

Re: Another "Oh Bugger" Moment.
Hi Dean.
Glad to hear your trees (most of them) are recovering and your azaleas are blooming. I haven't had time to take a good look at the pots as I'm getting thing ready for the exhibition this week-end. I will sort them out later.

I hope your dog recovers Matt.
