Potential Forum Breach

I haven't been on here for a coons age. I did get a e-mail message about a "breach" recommending a password change.
I can't find an obvious link to my profile.
Cheers, Barrie.

Re: Then and Now, how your garden has developed

Yes Dave ... It's been a while. Your Washingtonia is looking great. I'd imagine a new crown of leaves formed quickly in the next season. I should try one again sometime. Never had too much luck with them. Sabal palmetto and S minor are more of a focus for me know.

Cheers, Barrie.

How's that sizeable Washingtonia robusta of yours doing these days Dave?

Re: Weekend Weather Warning 8th/9th Feb 2014

So that's where all the rain went. All along the Pacific coast of North America dought is extensive. Here in the Pacific Northwest we're about 40% short on normal rainfall. One of the driest winters in many many years.

Re: Have you booked any time off work yet?

I have 9 weeks of holidays each year, so I split it up thru out the year. I'm currently on the early stretch of 16 days off.

Re: How big is your back garden?

I'm on a half acre and I'd wager the back portion would be about ¼ acre.

Re: I'm done with this year :-(

Interesting ... by contrast over my way, there's been little if any rain since June (13 weeks). Endless days of sun and warmth. Today (Oct.07) we max'd out at 81.9°F / 27.7°C.

Re: Your daily weather blog -June 2011 onward

Severe drought and no end in sight. Forest fire rating is extreme and has been so for quite some time. Bear and cougar sitings are posted around town as they source food.

Clear and sunny 23°C / 73°F overnight low 8°C / 48°F icon_sunny

Re: Jubaea palm growing in unusual place

The pic in the original post is quite dated. The motel is no longer Palm Motel, it's now Fireside Inn on the corner of Broadway (640 Broadway) and N.Mildred in King City, Ca.

Google street view has a much more updated view. Cheers, Barrie.
