I'm in Newcastle. Something strange if going on here too. Having set a good
crop I would be expecting my pumpkins to start dying off about now - but no,
they've put on a burst of growth and are now covered in new flowers. We
haven't had Sydney's rain - only about 15mm in the last couple of weeks.

Middle of summer in Sydney and I have wisteria in flower and a magnolia
soulangeana with a bloom on
it.

I'm hoping it is a sign that the drought is ending.
