Happy Wattle Day (well it is here in Australia) August the first.
The temp today? a beautiful 23 cel.I live in a more inland area that is always a few degrees hotter in the Summer and a few degrees cooler in winter.Our Autumn (fall ) is my favourite...then Winter days are usually just lovely....Spring is gone in a minute and then the Hot hot Summer sees me gardening very early say 5.30 to about 8am after that it is too hot! with pumpkins passionfruits etc growing as much as a foot overnight.I garden after the sun goes down in the Summer...using lights......I hide inside in the day.
Have a lovely day! (picture of our Cootamundra wattle)
Acacia Baileyana....now in full flower ....lighting up our Winter gardens all over Australia.
