French lavender planted 5 Oct
Decided I wanted that lovely odour, and actually Sonia said that snakes find the smell offensive. I want to deter them from my shed, so I bought and planted some. 3 different types.
Planted marigolds Sat 10 Oct.
Got this idea from Sonia, when we were visiting them in Childers. She had marigolds in the veggie plot as companion plants.
They looked good, so Mum and I bought some and I am putting mine in the bed with the citrus trees, just for show.
They haven't appeared yet, other than small leaves, so will keep an eye on progress.

Counting blessings
John's garden - Progress: Oct 2020 - Feb 2021
The parterre garden is taking shape, slowly. I fed all the murrayas and min-a-mins with potash recently, but I think they also need some seaweed food (Seasol).
