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.

They are barely visible above the mulch I have put in the garden beds, but I notice they have grown a wee bit since planting.

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.
