[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 339823, member: 1991"] Welcome to the morning thread, Farmwife. It's difficult for me & husband, too, because by the time it's morning in the US, it's night-time the same day, here. Monday morning early, is Monday night in Oz. Sorry about your sheep - could it have been the wet? They can still get chilled despite all that wool, plus they get weighed down a lot when waterlogged. How many sheep do you have? What kind? I'm thinking of a couple of possibilities... The beans - there are some lovely varieties, there is a purple kind that has beautiful red flowers. Good luck with them! I used to hate picking the beans too, when I was a kid. But I didn't like eating them much, either. I went out in the wet last night and planted some silverbeet. The packet said to soak the seeds first but I figured, the ground is waterlogged (and we're on sand! It's waterlogged! husband said we got 140 mm in 24 hours in the rain gauge) so why bother. I hear you on the swamp - we now live on top of a sand dune, so we don't get puddles. Except for days like yesterday. But I remember one place we used to live, an old welfare house that had been built in a dry creek bed. No drainage had ever been put in, and when it rained, we were swamped. had to wade to the front door. The house had risen damp - not rising. This had already risen as high as it could go, we had strings of mould hanging from the ceiling. We were very glad to move out of there! Marg [/QUOTE]
