I find that thick mulch is a savor in my garden to keep as much moisture in as possible - the Queensland sun can be rather harsh. We also had some sneaky northerly winds come through in March which dried out a few things too. Good luck with the competition.lizzie {Strayed Table}https://www.blogger.com/profile/02780078173100461193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-8106047577209558032014-04-08T11:23:42.149+10:002014-04-08T11:23:42.149+10:00It is wonderful to see a Rosella bush producing. ...It is wonderful to see a Rosella bush producing. I can't grow them here and they are so pretty. Your herbs are gorgeous and it is all so well tended.

Must try that! It's been really dry here and my little lemon and lime trees are getting dried out. But I'm going to replant them into big pots anyway.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10894865592266996002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-43164331255931847022014-04-07T12:01:54.663+10:002014-04-07T12:01:54.663+10:00Yah for the rain Liz!

I have lots of old hay and I put it around my tomatoes and let them spread out on the ground as I think that they don't lose as much moisture as they do when staked up in the heat. I have not seen any tests of this but it reasons that there is less air flow closer to the ground. So far I have just planted potatoes and beets, it is too wet here of all things.Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-40714096338683445942014-04-07T08:14:34.667+10:002014-04-07T08:14:34.667+10:00The hay is great isn't it?
