Hate this shit,
I hate being cold,
I hate being wet, unless it's tropical rain,
my arthritis in my neck & foot hate this shit too,
can't wait for Palm Cove in 2 weeks.

It’s perfect timing. Lots of crops need nutrition about now so heaps of urea has gone out the last few days which needs at least 5-10mm to wash it in.
The big test will come later when the days are longer, temperatures increase and the crops are a lot bigger therefore needing a lot more moisture. The outlook is horrible but so far it’s been perfect.

I really like reading your posts about the trials and tribulations about working off the land, DD - the good and the bad.

gives lots of insight to us city slickers, most of which wouldn't know what you guys really endure to make a buck.

If you got away with an average harvest would you take that???

Most up here are saying that would do them just fine if it pans out that way.
