Warm bright sunshine forecast all day in the South. Ideal conditions for Spring Scorch on things like Obregonia, Copiapoa etc. I've put some fleece curtaining up over my "sunny side".
Scorch Alert!

Scorch Alert!
Hi everyone
Warm bright sunshine forecast all day in the South. Ideal conditions for Spring Scorch on things like Obregonia, Copiapoa etc. I've put some fleece curtaining up over my "sunny side".

Re: Scorch Alert!
It is lovely weather just now, but I've still got my bubble glazing up, so I hope that's enough.

Re: Scorch Alert!
I know the following is going off topic a bit but today I was talking to a north sea fisherman who says lack of cod in the north sea has nothing to do with over fishing; he says the sea is getting warmer and as cod area cold water fish they are moving much further north!
Not surprising with the temperatures we have been getting this year.

Tina - all you need is a bucket of water and some rocks, and you have your very own sauna!
The cacti might not like the moisture, though.
