The weather has been terrib...Some great tips Cath!<br /><br />The weather has been terrible here over this week. We reached 46C yesterday, and today will be hotter, and tomorrow hotter again. We have been the hottest in the state for days...I feel for my son having to work in these conditions. His work does not allow shorts or short sleeve shirts. He starts at 7am and doesn't get home until 4pm. He was so tired this morning when he got up even after going to bed at 8.30pm. We get slight relief with a cool change on Sunday and then the temperatures are rising again, we are expecting 43C for Christmas! I am so over this heat. I'm going to look for another home in a new location lol!<br /><br />The garden is surviving although some of the leaves have been scorched. We have covered the veggies with shade which is definitely a must where we live. My apples have fallen off the tree because of heat stress. I have saved them for juicing. I have kept the fruit trees watered but it is just too much heat for so long. I am picking apricots at the moment and dried some which only took three days in this heat. Jam making happening today :)<br /><br />I am a bit pushed for time so I have not been blogging, I am hoping to get a post done before Christmas :)<br /><br />Take care in the heat Cath,<br /><br />xTaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.com
