I see we are in opposite hemispheres. Here we are entering the middle of spring and, curiously, despite being a traditionally rainy season, we are experiencing an unprecedented drought.
I just published a post about the work done after a day of very little rain, barely 10 mm, but it has served to reinvigorate the plants in a remarkable way.
It is incredible the rain in spring the effect it has on the plants.
In this area it traditionally rains between 800 and 1000 mm a year and so far this year we have had less than 600 mm. For this reason all crops in general begin to suffer from lack of water.
That is rough. Hopefully rain comes both our ways :)
