My passion fruit vine, being in the middle of severe water restrictions
is showing signs of dying. Dimpled fruit, yellowing limp leaves and
major unhappiness.
If you see fruit going dimpled give it a thorough soak now. Its probably
to late for mine but I'm trying to save it at this point. Has anyone
else got or had this problem?

restrictions

probably

My Silver Beet, which was standing upright at 10.00am this morning was
lying down and having a rest at about 5.00pm, then we got a storm and
it stood up again.

No, I don't have that problem, but then I don't currently have a
passionfruit.  It's jsut everything else that needs constant watering
and regulalry threatening to die.

 I thought I'd give others a warning, this ones a huge threat. Its never
looked like this b4. Though it may pick up, I have some doubts.
I will keep us informed.

No Mulch at all. It fights its way with a tree for survival, like all
things its birth was accidental. Water restrictions are creating a
jungle here in Melbourne with the local State government looking for way
to stop home gardeners growing food etc by restricting their watering
hours due to what I feel is who "cares type" management and not looking
well into the future.
No dams indeed. You cant make any more rain, I say then, No banks then
either,  you cant make any more money.

They look like a government, but do they smell like a government talk
like a goverment? They smell like b^&%*%*shit. But I bet it wouldnt grow
anything.... Other than that theyre probably OK.
