Vegie plot update
Spent time in the garden, setting up the azaleas in the centre three beds, the dragonfruit on the sunniest end, and I'll use the inner bed for veggies, I think, or maybe sweet peas.
The 3 square beds I will use for veggies, and the round pots for herbs: rosemary, basil, thyme, parsley, sage, coriander, chives, oregano, lavender.
New ornament
Bought this from Marketplace for $10, but I think it's half of a book-end. Previous owner said she only ever had the one. I'm thinking I might bring her inside, and place her ('Molly', after the previous owner's pretty white cat) on a shelf, next to a plant or something.
So, I've washed her, ready for placement indoors. She just looked too small to be outside, unless there was a special niche place.
