Good morning,

Late spring means hay fever for me and rapid grass and pasture growth. The latter is goodness as we have been able to cut & bale hay from our property over the last few years. Early spring rains really freshened up the paddocks and this week our 5 acre back paddock was cut and some 376 high quality bales were delivered at the very productive rate of 75 bales per acre. Excellent.

I am delighted to report that for the first time in three or four years, there has been a significant amount of spring rain here in Melbourne and across Victoria. This has gone a considerable way to easing the drought conditions and our states perilously low water supply.

On a personal level our tanks and dams are full, and after some recent plumbing work, most of the garden water is being sourced from our dam. And of course everything looks wonderfully green. We have received over 50 ml, and ten days of recorded rain, so far in October.

Bye for now, BomberBoy
