    What's your weather like 2026

    Not seen the sun today although it has tried to break the dust haze a time or two without success. It is 16.6c but we have a nasty breeze gusting to 56 kph. Still waiting for the dirty rain.

    I grew the kalettes a couple of years ago - those that survived the slugs/snails were tasty. I'd certainly consider them again.
