Over at the rain gauge at Luckyland....
Thought I'd start the chat off.
Cold here not a lot of rain...... areas that haven't been watered in the garden of late.... look dry. Other areas getting water ..... look wetish still.
More rain or should I say showers may fall, but not a lot in it.
How did you other gardeners fair if you have had rain lately???

From the rain gauge:
14mm Tuesday morning.
10mm Wednesday morning.
1.5mm Thursday morning.
Hoping for more showers. But I'm very thankful for every single drop we received.

Over night on Tuesday...... 2.75
Yesterday morning ......3 mm
So I guess the weatherman had it right for a change... about 5 mm to fall and we got 5.75

Ha!
This one's easy a big 0
Not a drop! Well maybe a couple of drops but none that counted!
But we did have ice on the car this morning so I guess that had to melt into water!

Went down to 2C

Wow guzzigirl didn't realize Melbourne got that much rain, should be good for the garden

When do you usually start getting frosts??? I would have thought maybe closer to the end of April??
Re: Over at the rain gauge at Luckyland....
We're usually pretty safe until at least Anzac Day but this year has just been so totally crazy we'll probably end up with snow this winter.
Haven't had any snow here since May 2000.

I found a way to make it rain - plant carrot seeds. This is the second lot I've put in only to be followed by torrential rain - they are probably over the road by now!
Re: Over at the rain gauge at Luckyland....
a few more showers here today

Down to 3C over night. Brrr....
Carrot seeds don't make it rain here. They usually herald a hot/dry spell. Happened to me twice this season! I might try again this weekend. Let's hope the dry spell doesn't come back. You have been warned.

Re: Over at the rain gauge at Luckyland....
2.4mm for the week still threatening to rain but didn't.I have never seen snow either Lucky, my wish is to make a snow angel one day.
I have been hand watering the new plants I put in recently.Our rain water tank is almost empty so some serious rainfall is needed as we can't drink the tap water with out filtering it.

I had a lady over in USA make a snowball for me and pop it up on her blog I said on her comment part how pretty her snow was and we were in the mist of a heatwave. I asked her to make a snowball for me and she did
Check out the kindness of the lady

Re: Over at the rain gauge at Luckyland....
@ Lucky's snowball...it would have melted long before it got here!
Well something worked coz it hasn't been over 20C up here for the last few days.
But still no RAIN GRRRR!
Hey Belladonna my rainwater tanks have been empty for a while now and I hate raising seedlings on tap water...they don't do very well at all.
I just want some rain

Re: Over at the rain gauge at Luckyland....
Today was the grand opening of all the new renovations at work so picture the scene chairs outside under the trees ,big wigs and important guests seated and the heavens opened it poured.Laugh (I couldn't stop, until I realised they would now be coming in).So we rushed about like headless chooks frouffing the place up.It has been a long long day and ,if one more thing went wrong I would have screamed.
However tonight I get to sleep in the way I have wanted to for some time, with the sound of rain on our tin roof.
