Here we were a week or so ago, thinking we had had a very mild winter with only a couple of very mild frosts, when suddenly last week, we copped three consecutive mornings of rather severe frosts, or at least the most severe that we had experienced in our five years here at Larnook. When we moved in, there had been a very severe, 'black' frost the year before that had killed off large parts of our mango trees, which are situated right on the crest of the slope that our house is on, and these frosts weren't as bad as that one, but still quite heavy.
I had thought that we hadn't suffered much in the way of frost bite on our plants until I noticed today that many of the leaves on our two blue quandongs, that we planted down near our creeks, had died. Lets hope the trees survive.
I'm hoping the last of the frosts is over for this year.
