You poor things. We here in Marysville have fared much better, although still well below average. 21.5; 61.5; 58.5; and 37.6mm for the first four months, a total of 179.1mm, and now 75.8 in the first week of May. It’s looking lovely and green here, though no mowing yet.
Hi Ian, you sure have done better than Yea. 75.8 in May…wow. As of 9th May we have received only 28mm.
