New garden feature - large bird bath

Bought from Maxine Upton at Goodna - large bird bath, which I plan to have filled with flowers. It was delivered by Mark and Leslie, of 'Man with Ute', Great people.

Costs:
bird bath - $200
pick up and delivery - $85
40 bricks - $20
potting mix and flower seedlings from Bunnings - $65

What a beauty she is!

With pot mix and flower seedlings in.

Tiina investigates. I scattered a mixture of garlic power and cayenne pepper around the bird bath, to dissuade the cats from pooping in it!

Got the veggies in! #1

From road to dog kennel:

Lettuce combination
Capsicum
Basil - large leaf
Beetroot

Zucchini
Leek
Coriander
Lemon Tree

French Beans
Rocket
Parsely around orange tree

Need 6 more bags of pot mix and 2 more herb/veg seedlings to fill up the space.

I'm guessing they are going to need some sort of climbing frame and a cover too.

The garden beds came from Paul, $30 each.

They can do no wrong!

Naughty girls!

Progress of the wall (sweet potato vine)

Potato vine looks fiiiine!

New weather vane ornament

Bought this from The Reject Shop yesterday, $22. Not bad. Painted it white. Looks better.

Parkrun #167 - my 4th - 6 May 2017

I was a volunteer this week - tailrunner. I walked the route with a new friend - Karen. We chatted all the way. She's lovely. She and her husband Mark invited me to coffee at Queen's Park cafe afterwards. They had a long table there with all sorts of Parkrun people - I met even more new contacts. Great!
