    What a beautiful day in Melbourne, nice sunny, but not hot just right for outdoor work, makes you happy to be a gardener on days like today .

    Same here mate. Had to do the retirement village today. Finished by 3.30. I was thinking to myself whilst edging that you wouldn't want to be in a office job with weather like this

    What is doing with the rain in Brisbane. Don't get me wrong my fertilizing is going gang busters but I need to mow. Please stop for my round tomorrow!

    Is anyone else in Brissy chasing their tales?

    Already 10 behind and booked out next week and still it pours!

    What amazes me is I have had 3 calls asking why I am not mowing?

    I doubt if I will get out tomorrow so its 16 behind.

    sorry but looking at the forecast rainfall chart you will be lucky to get anything done before tue http:///www.bom.gov.au/jsp/watl/rainfall/pme.jsp
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    I have 8 booked in for tomorrow and then I get emails asking why I have not been!

    Hello you muppets have a look outside!

    I have worked my butt off to get in front to have next weekend off and now I am behind further than I have ever been.

    I am grateful for the work but, something!!!!!!!!

    Wet out here too as you might have guessed but nowhere near as much as for you Brissy and Coast guys. I'm only 4 jobs behind which I'll catch up easily thankfully being a part-timer.

    It's gone from a trickle of work due to the lack of growth over the wet winter, to a sudden explosion of growth, and now we could work 24 hours a day just to keep up.

    Yeah tell me about it...I am booked out and turning work away. Just can't fit any more in and I don't have the time or inclination to take on more staff to do it. So I am picking the eyes out of the walk up jobs and making sure my regs are well looked after. I have significantly upped my quotes for garden clean ups. There are so many people out there wanting jungles sorted out before an inspection that is happening.....ahhhhhhh......lets see....tomorrow.
