Gerbera picking day

It is Saturday - picking day. I'm up a little early - before the sun. I can see a faint glow through the trees. I can hear the magpies and crows. The sky is cloudy - we do hope for rain.

So many folk ask how we manage in the drought - it is hard as we have to use all town water unless it rains, and it costs money. Rain is free. We have a Brisbane City Council Water Efficiency Management Plan, so are authorised to use the water from the city pipes. At the moment.

We still are at a crossroads. We'd like to move on. It has become so difficult with the water situation.

We have a few ideas and this week I will be approaching an organisation to consider taking it over. We will see.

Meanwhile - it is picking today. We'll go to the hothouses about 6.30 am today.
