On my trip to the Tasman the other week, I don't think I saw a green blade of grass anywhere on the drive from Blenheim along SH63.
Down Wellington way we've had heavy rain just often enough to keep things alive, though the veggie garden needs a bit of a water occasionally.
Sounds really rough. Would a swale work?
Damn really? I'm a bit further down and we're looking greener than we usually do at this time of year. Next time I see rainclouds I'll tell them to head up to you.
Okay now I'm confused, I'm up in the red part of that map too but our berms are green rather than their usual brown.
To be fair I was away from te Tai Tokerau for most of the summer so maybe I'd have noticed more if I'd been here.
Maybe I'm in a rainshadow. Will have to get someone to take me on a drive. Not that many black crickets this year either.
I really hope the drought breaks for you.
I love watching chooks chase crickets and grasshoppers.
