11mm here overnight, 99 in the last 3 days. Probably a bit low compared to what was forecast. Still the swampy backyard is keeping the local kookaburras full of earthworms. A bit of drier weather ahead by the look of things.

Mar: 650.5mm
YTD: 1481mm

Power restored about 11:00 , so 21hrs .. They came with a chopper , did an inspection then landed and walked a bit.
Local helped with a buggy. Cleaned up and left.
Got to hand it to them, they do a great job.



Cheers

Good morning :)

62mm in my gauge this morning.

I thought Narelle was supposed to take all the wet with her :) haha

NT looks to be inline for some more major flooding, they have had a massive wet season.

With drought setting in down on the Darling Downs and northern NSW, I wonder if this is the last
of our big wet years. We have had a few now, and it might be a sign of drier seasons ahead.
Who knows, I'm sure the BoM don't even with a $96m website :)

cheers

Normally when cyclones go west they drag the weather with them. We had our wettest night since Narelle formed with 66mm so something is a bit different. A drizzly morning here so far.

Mar: 716.5mm
YTD: 1547mm

No rain here, just another overcast day.

102mm up here this morning. Yeah Scott it was a wet night.

1434mm for March so far is getting up there.

We lost a few early veggie plants, probably start a few again this week.
Some how we have had pumpkins all the way through this year, but will be pulling what's left
and reclaiming the beds, for corn and others. Will start a new patch with the melons in the
next couple of weeks.
That Kangkong stuff grows like a weed in this wet stuff, I don't get the hype for it..

A measly 33mm here today and some blue sky for us too SM..Though the sun has some bite to it..Hopefully the ground will dry out a bit this week..plenty of mowing and spraying to be done..but not while its so sloppy...
The vege thing is always a gamble this early Bunyip but its worth a try I reckon..

I grow the Kangkong in flat water troughs and an old spa bath on a 3 foot high stand so the pots are always in water and fed with chicken poop its grows very lush with fat juicy stems...if its not well grown away from the soil and just straggling along in the ground I find its not as palatable..we use it or curries, stir fries and noodle dishs and find it quite acceptable as agreen this time of year same with the wing beans which in the sideways pics have just overtaken all the fences......

I prefer Pak choi and silverbeet but they are no-go through the wet and the perennial stuff is just so easy.....

I have a couple of types of Breadfruit coming off this season which have been interesting..also used in curries and when older great for wedges in the air fryer (lovely with sour cream and sweet chilli sauce)and when soft-ripe they make great desserts like pancakes...though mainly for the missus as i dont really have a sweet tooth...

Cockies stripped my Rambutan tree this week...I dont want to but I think I'm going to have to introduce them to Mr Smith and Wesson...
