We've had a bit over half an inch over the last three days. Has made for a nice change, cool air, dampness on the wind and a bit of surface moisture in the soil.
Silverbeets, corriander and dill are taking off, peas and beans are a vigorous 5", potatoes are pushing aside the mulch. Basil in flower where I didn't tip the main stems.
Sunflower heads are heavy but I can't see any seeds.
In the cuttings department, I pulled over a dozen out to 'harden' up on the bench. The wysteria and roses don't look good, nor do some of the 'old' lavender cuttings. I gathered the still healthy looking ones into one cool box, the unhealthy (or dead) into another. I'll have to get more soon.
And the galahs continue to feast on pine nuts in the mega pine tree down the back corner, spreading wood chips and detrius all over the garden. Have to sweep this up roughly weekly at the moment.
