An indoors ZZ plant. Is this the one Rachel gifted you? I have one too. Dead easy to take care of. The hot and balmy nights have made it hard to sleep at night, even with the fan on. But it brought the rain, so I'll live with it. Our lawn mower has been working overtime too!Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-79267066455030147232020-01-31T20:29:47.899+10:002020-01-31T20:29:47.899+10:00Lawn mowing afoot here too, Chel.

That's a very sweet glass bird.

Loved the look of the upcoming workshops in your area, hope you do dust off your sewing machine, my day's not complete if I haven't sat at the machine. I started some veggie seeds .....greens mainly, as the chooks like them so much.....before we had that lovely burst of rain....over 200mls down here.....and they're nearly ready to pick. I made sure to fence them, away from the greedy chickens, and strung some lines to hang some shade cloth over, so they're doing ok. I water them with my shower water. But you're right, it takes a lot of extra energy to garden in the heat, I tend to it late in the day, just before it's dark, or I wouldn't bother!Nanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473143331781472223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-37907548574708740732020-01-28T19:58:10.111+10:002020-01-28T19:58:10.111+10:00Jane, the humidity has been terrible as we are so ...Jane, the humidity has been terrible as we are so used to it being so dry.

We have had about 20 mls over the past couple of weeks, but seem to always be on the edge of the storms and it had certainly rained more than that in dust! However we are better off than those who have had less and those who have had deluges that have washed top soil from paddocks.wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14038967761441065236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-60261527521561729792020-01-25T15:46:08.964+10:002020-01-25T15:46:08.964+10:00Nil, a storm just went through and we got about on...Nil, a storm just went through and we got about one and a half inches of rain which was great.
