Well, it certainly felt like the drought broke in Melbourne and Victoria over the weekend! It poured for hours and hours, which was wonderful to see and hear. Not so wonderful to see the floods in Gippsland, though.

Hopefully, a lot of people were collecting some of that rain water to use over summer.

And now is the time to put down some new mulch to keep as much of that moisture in the garden beds as possible.

But back to the rain! Melbourne received over 27mm of rain which is incredible after the last 10 years. For everyone who planted tomato plants over the weekend (Cup Day being the tradiaional time to plant them), it is a great start to your vegetable crop!

What did you do to celebrate the rain if you got rain over the weekend?
