writes "Farm1" please@askifyouwannaknow wrote in message ... We've had 6 years of continuous drought where 30 year old trees have tried to die but been resurrected by 3 days of watering. Last year the grasshoppers ate just about everything in the garden including stripping the leaves totally off 2 apples. Now I've just had a killer of a frost as I've just been thinking it's time to plant the tomatoes. Thank heavens I stick to the maxim of neverplant till I know who won the Melbourne Cup. The frost killed all the new growth on my buddlia (sp?), has knocked new growth on the roses, has done for all the new leaves and grapes on at least 100 of the grape vines and killed all the flowers on most of my Irises. Sodding weather. 3 days ago it was aircon in the car because it was so hot (over 30C) and last night it was back to fires and the winter duvets. Sometimes I wonder why I bother. Never thought of Australia as having frost - ever! They even have ski resorts. I may be mistaken, but I think the skiing is more reliable than in Scotland. More skiable snow than Switzerland in fact. Even Queensland has frost. Parts of it. |
