Default No winter yet

All the summer veggies (capsicum, sweet potato etc) still have leaves. I
moved the horses 3 weeks ago and the paddock they were on was still
covered but well eaten down. Today it is showing 10-15cm of new soft
growth.

If this is the climate change future I can stop worrying about having
enough feed to get them through winter.


It's quite astonishing weather. We have not had to light the fire for a
month later than would be normal and there is still some pasture growth
happening as a result of the recent small amounts of rainfall we've had.
And not one frost yet! Simply amazing.
