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?


a tributary of the Karuah system


are you far enough upstream that you don't
have to worry too much about pollution in the
river sediments?


your pastures will be happy.

hope you find your missing irrigation parts!


.... as the actress said to the bishop.


ouch!
