This weekend has been a nightmare for gardeners,with temperatures of 39 and over 40 degrees.To step out into the garden was like opening an oven door,with great blasts of hot air.Needless to say lots of hand watering was needed later in the day,(yes using trigger nozzles and hand held hoses)

Two of the drawbacks were sharing the watering with tiger snakes,we sighted two this weekend,the third one we have seen this month.The other drawback was coming in to prepare the evening meal after 7 O'clock,after all the watering was done.

Please please rain,first of all for all the areas affected by bushfires,then the farmers and all the poor suffering plants in gardens around Australia.
