    ****ty weather here too today. Dodging showers all day and gave up. Got 9 done and that was enough for us. At least the rain will water in all the fertiliser I have been applying.
    Cheers

    Yep,I noticed a fair bit of heat stress in a lot of gardens this week. We've gone from one of the coldest winters here that I can remember straight into 28-30degrees

    Weathers turned feral. I knew it was coming and started earlier than usual today to try and beat it.

    Ten jobs booked and I've just pulled the plug after doing seven of them. With any luck it might clear up a bit later today and I can get out there and finish them. If not it'll have to be catch up work later this week.

    Seven must be lucky number for today. We did seven before getting rained off and our other crew did seven. Good drop of rain, much needed.

    I started early aswell. Have loads of work to get through. Got wet earlier and keeped getting wetter. I had some bigger jobs to do that included weed spraying so put them off and did some smaller lawns to free up the next couple of days. Hopefully I can get the bigger jobs out of the way in the next 2 days. Don't like my chances though. Wasted time sorting out one of my trailers yesterday so I could pick up one of my rideons, at least I did get to use it on a job today. Got very wet though.
