[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1225371, member: 16453"] Thanks for the comments. We have had a great summer after a woefull spring. The rain came early in the growing season and although it has dried off over the last month we have very good ground cover so it helps retain the moisture. Fortunately we have a late season cyclone a bit north of us at the moment and are picking up a bit more rain. I have a new area that I have cleaned up recently and if we get some good rain tonight I will plant some perenial rye, fescue and red and white clover with a bit of plantain as well, always good value plantain. This is over in the bulls paddock, it is Digit grass (Digitaria uncinara), a Sth African grass that gives good growth over summer. I planted this about 7 years ago in adverse conditions and although it did not do real well it has been there and gets a bit thicker each year but never much leaf to it, well this year it has gone gangbusters, it has overpowered the undesirable African Lovegrass and is very thick with a lot of succulent leaf. I really don't know where the extra plants have come from. It is also a very desirable stockpiled winter feed and the leaf will stay a bit green around the base for a while. With so much seed there I am hoping it does even better in the future with a bit more recruitment. There is a second kelpie in that photo somewhere.
