So far this year it has been particularly dry in Melbourne. Or rather it had been dry until yesterday when the rain started. So far we’ve had about 40mm (our total this year is only just over 60mm) and the plants are looking pretty happy about it.
Some got so excited they started bursting at the seams:
And all we want is for our soil to dry a little – the sun is shining today though!
my zebras are bursting too, caught them off guard I think, very happy here too, we’ve had about 80mm over the last 10 days.
Why can’t we find a happy medium. It’s too wet to do any gardening here, though the sun is shining today so I’m hoping my soil will start to dry out.
I’m just happy that my water tank is starting to refill!
I am happy about it too Liz, never thought I would get to a stage that rain would make me feel good inside and out.
Doesn’t it make you even more than ever aware how much we depend on water for our existence, let alone our well-being? Too much is bad; too little is bad; just enough is good, but rare!
I’ve got a few side-splitting toms as well, but boy that rain just soothed the soul didn’t it.
Sometimes it can be too much of a good thing. Still, I’d glad you got some much needed precipitation!
I’m away on holidays and I just can’t wait to get back to my garden……….40mls is fantastic!!!
Yay for rain!!! We do a little dance here when it rains…unless there’s lightening overhead, of course 😉
