Our driest month of the year

 August is usually our driest month of the year so to go out and find 16mm of rain in the rain gauge is cause for much joy.

For early August around these parts that is phenomenal rain. Being winter with its low evaporation temperatures this is more than enough to carry the veggie garden through to the next, hopefully not too far away, rain event.

I've often pondered the expression 'rain event' as to mean that it happens so rarely that we call it an event as opposed to something like just another rainy day.

Anyway, I am very grateful for this recent rain event and the garden is almost jumping out of its skin, so to speak. The weeds are too so I guess I'll need to prioritise a weeding session when the garden dries out enough to work on.

Hope everything is going well for you in your veggie garden and I'll see you outside with dirt under your fingernails and a full bucket of weeds for the compost.

Cheers for now
Stewart. ❤
