baphomet Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) Has anyone else ever heard that the first full moon in may is the start of the season? Anyways.. that's today, it was the best day for me last year but it was much later in the month and there was a little more rain (I went the morning after the full moon.. which would be tomorrow). The same can be said for other years but perhaps it's just coincidence/superstition? Edited May 8, 2009 by baphomet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~shameless~ Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) http://www.seabreeze.com.au/graphs/vic.aspTommorrow or Monday, it seems the biggest tide fluctuation will be tommorrow begining at about 3.30am ( i dunno why i mentioned that)In years past i would have to agree baph, but the reality is IMO the temperature and soil moisture have a bigger influence on the start of the season. Its a bit wet outside at the moment, tommorow i will go looking (hopefully locally) if this drizzle keeps up for a bit more.

gerbil Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 i'd loosely lay it in the coincidence basket baphomet however that's not to say it won't have an influence, it's all an environmental system after all.the season starts in mid/late march in melbourne generally however it's still dependent on environmental conditions.

ballzac Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I've seen dribs and drabs of them just around my uni campus (none in quite as good condition as gerbil's pic), but haven't bothered to look further because I don't expect there to be much out there...that and I'm quite busy.

gerbil Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 cheers even though it's still dry as, found a very large patch with huge specimens in it yesterday of all ages so it's been up for a while there, those type of meaty monsters that Dreaming Nag. posted photos of. Pity herbicide was being used in the location, surprising what they can do with such little moisture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
