It is still really hot. Well above 30C as it has been for days. Keeping the garden alive is getting harder. Luckily a storm a day ago gave the trees some water. The storm hit others worse. Houses were hit by lightning and floods and winds did a lot of damage in parts of Geelong. QLD has had an even worse time with heavy rain that has flooded homes and washed away bridges. I wonder if life is going to become a continual battle to survive the elements as the effects of climate change increase.
It would make growing food much more unpredictable. The banana groves have been devastated up north and my tomatoes are struggling. Strangely the capsicums are doing better than ever and the egg plants, cucumbers and zucchini in my bed with good soil are enormous!
Stevo has almost completed the building but his car has broken down, so he is not here today. It is probably for the best as it is so hot and we are expecting it to cool a bit from tomorrow. Josh still needs to do some wiring but we are waiting for Stevo to finish first. We can plan the next move when that job is done.
I have agreed to take part in the permaculture open week. It is a few years since we did the last trip and it gives us a target date to work towards. I try to do a bit of work in the gardens every day but I am pretty slow nowadays. I am hoping I can get some help to tidy everything up.
