Not too bad here. Still a bit chilly in the mornings but it will be warmer on the weekend.
The forecasts confuse me a bit - tomorrow there will be a 50% chance of getting at least 0mm of rain. But isn’t 0mm the least amount of rain you can get? Surely it’s 100% chance of at least 0mm?
Maybe our maths guru can help explain it
I knew the gardener would understand.
And yes if the tree is small don’t smash the rootstock with the nails. Burying the nails close to the roots does work but can be a slower process
Nick gave you some good advice but the other trick involves a trip to the hardware store. Buy an iron, a copper and a zinc coated nail. Hammer the three of them into the base of the tree. Magic
The other trick, which my grandfather used to swear by, is to threaten the tree unless it starts to produce fruit. Apparently he did this to his troublesome lemon and the next year produced a wonderful crop.
Luckily I didn’t go super crazy on perishables and some will be used during the festive season… as for speedos I think that’s next weekend definitely not during this week.
I was going to say something about Val crossing spears but figure the moisturizer comment was mischievous enough
Plus I need to get some lunch. Got my priorities sorted
