Rainy day

Weather Forecast for Today:
Rain periods. Some moderate to heavy falls and local stream rises possible. Windy with fresh and gusty E to SE'ly winds.

I like how they say "rain periods". It hasn't let up since it started early this morning and it feels like it's set in for the day!

The view from our back deck on a rainy day...


Moon Planting: 27th March to 2 April - New Moon
During this phase I put in a new lot of mixed lettuce seedlings as the last lot were starting to go to seed.

April 3rd to 9th - First Quarter
Sow or transplant fruiting annuals and sow green manures. Apply liquid fertilisers.

If you prefer a daily guide to moon/zodiac planting, check out the April Moon Guide at Cosmic Gardening.

Have a great day.

RAIN PERIODS! By Crikey it hasn't stopped here since early evening yesterday! It is absolutely soaking wet here, traffic is chaos, the shopping centre is chock-o-block full (probably stocking up in case it floods again) and the kids must sense the craziness as they are acting like its a full moon or something. As much as I like the rain, the big wet we are getting up here is getting a little dull & dreary, the mice have also come out to play in the wet too.

Venting over. Have a great day!

Hi Teena,
Woke up to no rain this morning. Skies are still overcast though.
Just checked my rain guage - 146mm

Oops, spoke too soon! It's bucketing down again now so the rain guage will be refilling.
