That's fantastic that you have some good news to come out of the drought with. As tough as it was making the choice to grow pinion seed, it still must feel like an achievement.
I can't believe you're already in the 40s there. We don't usually get that high until we hit summer. We've just had a couple of mid 30s, followed by a freak hail storm. Weird weather to say the least.

@minismallholding we're in the Karoo. Semi-desert (even without the drought!) Our temperatures average in the 40's through summer. I saw you had a freak hail storm. No damage? We had a couple of those freak hails storms without the rain. But they cause damage. It is wierd indeed.....
No damage, thankfully. The hailstones were only half pea sized. I hope your damage wasn't too bad.
I think some of our edge of the outback areas have been near 40 now you mention it. We're slightly less extreme here, between the hills and the sea.

Our field of carrots took some damage but not as bad as what we expected, considering the size and amount of hail
