A tropical low is not unusual and welcomed.

We have had showers over two days and now seven hours of continuous heavy rain. We expect more rain. Parts of the district have had over 100ml. Our landscaping copes well with such rainfall events. Our sloping acre of food forest loves the rain and the warm days that follow.

Food Forest: Heavy rain but our landscaping copes well.

The amount of protein and minerals in food will be reduced by global warming: Science

...even if we grow our own...

I just discovered more ways to use coffee cherries

Drying coffee beans at home

We have ten coffee bushes and I have just picked a bucket of coffee cherries. The flesh is now deseeded of beans and chucked in the worm farm. I wondered if the cherry flesh could be used for jam and discovered a whole new use for the coffee husks/flesh.
