I was out west Sydney today, was about 40c. Tomorrow out west is looking like 42c. :hot: Lucky where I live in the east. When I got home it was about 5c cooler. I got a feeling this is going to be an awesome summer. Better make sure we all drink enough fluids. :beer:
 
The plants in the tent are suffering Gas, i cant open up both ends anymore so its like an oven inside, i fired up the pump from the river & drowned everything inside, poor plants.

Mezo.
 
I think Tuesday is supposed to be hotter again ... 37 in brizzy so inland will be looking at 40 C and then storms for the avo.

I have my liquid lime sulfur ready to go to nuke whatever mites think they have found a decent home on my plants but I have to wait for these temps to drop before I can do anything and meanwhile my friggin plants look uglier by the day!! I think they also have powdery mildew which adds to ugly plants .... arggggg!!!

Plus side of things = a good portion of plants are flowering and podding and especially my Bahamian goat pepper is cranking pods. Bad again is it looks like I might lose 2-4 of my plants to pests or powdery mildew

Got my pint of ice cold Guinness ... doing my best to increase my fluids as we speak
 
It's bizzare isn't it.
You guys are getting heat waves which we normally have over here in WA and we have just had 3 days of rain with 20 Deg.C heat!
Now my plants are waterlogged!!
Ahh the fun of growing!

Yeah you notice it at work when you have had a few nights with high temps and humidity and nobody can be bothered with anyone else Shiite at all. Frayed tempers all round :D
 
Yep thats the one.
Hopefully it will cool off a bit for you guys, we don't like it and the Chilli just plain hate it.
Tend to get lots of pod droppage when it stays that bloody hot too.

Yeah, it got to 39 here today (not far from Richmond), and tomorrow sounds like it going to be a shocker with the heat and following storm.

I pulled my last 5 plants (Padron, Jalapeno, Aji Lemon, Fatali and Bhut) inside.

From the way things are shaping up for this summer, I might just take them out in the mornings for a few hours.

This morning we had some cloud cover, I managed to get some gardening in before it cleared. I got myself stuck in the sun moving my plants about while mowing and pulling out weeds around my pots. Thinking about getting concrete blocks from bunnings and laying them down to sit my pots on. Currently I have them sitting on tiles, and I'm not real happy with it. Surprising the sun didn't knock about my plants as much as I thought it would. But then the sun didnt hit them until after 10am.

Yeah, and don't forget sun scald! Threw away a good whack of pods today that starting roasting on my plants. :mad:

I want winter back. Brissy winter is great for growing. Sure plants grow a little bit slower but you can whack 'em out in full sun and not worry about them yellowing to the craphouse and loosing all their leaves.... and best of all, no stinkin' rotten fruit fly!
 
That sucks Gas. I hate loosing pods unless there's a crapload of them.
Shade cloth, shade cloth and more shade cloth, finding shady areas ahhh!!!!!!!!

Best of luck mate.

Heres a quote from Family guy :rofl:
Peter: If you could be stranded on a desert island with any woman in the world, who would it be?
Glen Quagmire: Taylor Hanson.
Joe Swanson: Taylor Hanson is a guy.
Glen Quagmire: [Laughs] You guys are yankin' me. "Hey, let's put one over on Quagmire."
Peter: No, he's actually a guy, Quagmire.
Glen Quagmire: What? That's insane. That's impossible.
[Pause]
Glen Quagmire: Oh god. Oh my god. I've got all these magazines. Oh god.
