Honey we have a La Nina here now and will have to delve DEEP through tones of water to find Field Capacity soil!!
Western Australia is still doing what it does best...hot days and clear skies over summer... The UV index is through the roof!! (for this particular garden bed) So now I am going for more sclerophyllous foliage and higher water deprivation tolerance. The poor Lapins Cherry - Prunus avium sp. is suffering badly from sun scorch. Would you believe that the bloody plant is flowering??
Bush fire is a common thing here and yes I have had to 'run the gauntlet' in the 1993? fire that encircled Sydney...scary times but hey ...that is what the Australian bush does best thanks to Aboriginal cultivation practices... since the gods know when.
