Ex tropical cyclone Oswald thankyou for the rain!
Our tanks and dam are full after only 1day.

Now I can plan to plant my seedlings of schotia, castanospermum, caesalpinia, and caliandras that i have been holding off until the soil is moist again.
Today I've sown some seed of spathodea, paulownia, and toona sinensis into pots now that i will be able to plant out before autumn. Next on the list to sprout are Bolusanthus (because the last 2 that i sprouted died in the dry heat), also have cassia javonica seeds, hardenbergia (purple and white), and going to collect some Bauhinia seed from a clump of trees in town that have seed pods within reach.

I was out with the mattock digging up the poor little variegated pittosporum that died, and realised how much of the terrible grass( that i don't know what it's name is) has invaded. It completely chokes the ground and doesn't let the rain or air in. The roots are just so thick that a pick is needed to dig it up. So that's my next chore. Get rid of it. lol it's going to take an ongoing sustained attack.
