Still no rain. I'm having to pick and choose what parts of the yard I water, we've had to buy water for the house and pool.
Some more of the latest plantings have died, the more established plants are hanging in there, just.
I've had to abandon the vegie patch for now, we've just got no water for it, I'd rather try to keep the plants closest to the house alive.

On a positive note, the seeds I planted in anticipation of spring rain have sprouted, but I won't be planting them until the ground softens up.

Black Bean - Castanospermum australe

Caesalpinia ferrea - Leopard tree

Schotia brachypetala

Blood or Fire lily - Scadoxus

this lovely bulb literally popped up overnight amongst the hippeastrums and agapanthus. I didn't know it was there.
