    I’m in the far north on a horticulture block, and like most up here I’ve had enough of the incredible rainfall totals we’ve had particularly in the last 18 months. A strong El Niño brings the risk of drought and wildfires but at this point I’ll take it.

    The roads up here are completely wrecked from the rain. I had to laugh as the major of Whangarei again said they need a 4 lane highway down to Auckland. We can’t even maintain what we have…

      Yeah I had mushrooms growing on my lawn this summer, was pretty nuts. Have to wear wide shoes when I got feed the chickens or I’m liable to sink into the bog, the ground just can’t support any more water. Good thing we have a bunch of trees along the edge of the property keeping us in place!
