We are badly in need of good soaking rain.Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-63766778764507375232014-08-06T22:53:22.350+10:002014-08-06T22:53:22.350+10:00Very interesting!

Our hottest day got to 39.5C and that nearly killed us as we live in a cool temperate region with pretty good summers and our plants don't get wrecked from the heat like yours do. My Olla is now filled with water and it looks like it is working okay. I have now soaked it in water just to see how it goes and then will bury it. A bit of experimenting going on.

Up until it got really hot anyway...after that they couldn't cope with the heat either, like the rest of us lol. I think you will be well pleased with them.
