Still we here in the Highlands of the Riverina are MUCH greener than around Yass and Goulburn (places you wont know but still I am feeling sorry for my neighbours). Thankfully we still have 60% full water tank. We are always so very frugal as this is our ONLY water source. <br /><br />I hope it rains for you, and, if you find out what the dance is, please send it over the equator right down to southern Australia.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547410700199878385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-49993669585832539382013-05-04T02:28:49.789-04:002013-05-04T02:28:49.789-04:00It has been dry here too - I am watering every day...It has been dry here too - I am watering every day at the moment despite it heading into winter.

I wonder if I could still start from seeds at this point?

What has been weird lately is that it has been warm too. We've got a heat advisory for tomorrow, but I think that it's not going to be as hot as predicted, it's pretty cool tonight. But it has been really strange after 2 consecutive springs that have been cooler than usual, now it's warmer than usual. Just what is "normal" these days? I hope your watering revived your poor little carrots.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-62876785370689936132013-05-01T22:38:55.714-04:002013-05-01T22:38:55.714-04:00We have had sun the past couple of days!

I gave some blender squash to Mr. Granny and he accused me of feeding him baby food :-) Of course, this is the same Mr. Granny who won't eat a butternut "pumpkin" pie!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.com
