It's a great time to get out into the garden and plant up big! The last few days have been quite cool, a contrast from the earlier heat that surprised us all in early spring. The soil here is well watered with record rains only weeks ago and plenty to follow it up. We were very lucky to avoid major damage with a "Super cell" storm blasting through the Bundaberg area just a few days ago. Lots of trees were up-rooted and power was cut for over 24 hours for most locals with multiple powerlines down cutting major routes and some sheds and roofs lost. The storm was terrifying for those caught in it, including us, it was like suddenly a switch was flicked which turned on a cyclone, scariest storm I have even seen.
Apart from a few missing trees on the skyline, we were relatively unscathed, and the plants....well they responded by sprouting some new growth :) Just another day in paradise for them.
