I am just about to plant my winter seedlings, mostly brassicas.

That will have to wait for a while since we had 90mm (3 1/2 in) of rain over
night. There has been much more nearer the coast, over 200mm (8in) at one
place. The river is up about 12m (40ft) and the outflow of my dam is running
backwards, that is the dam is filling (well over-filling) from the river.
The soil will be rather too wet for a few days at least.

which river is it?

your pastures will be happy.

hope you find your missing irrigation parts!
