Doxxing capacity maximised... 👀 beautiful part of Melbourne to be in though that's for sure.

Now I'm getting images of a masked bandit digging up my clivias at 3am.

A woman I used to work with lived in Kew in a very nice street with a lot of very nice neighbours - included politicians and captains of industry. Her agapanthus bed kept getting raided by plant pirates. She tucked a placard at the back of the bed saying Smile! You're On Candid Camera! Raids stopped. I mean, who nicks agapanthus?

maybe they were dwarf white agathaspants

[–] TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Nope, just the regular blue ones. Like, so so ordinary. Why would anyone bother to nick them? I'm still scratching my head over that one.

wow , they are so beautiful . Your whole garden is beautiful. 😭

Thanks :) Honestly the whole thing really took off when I put the watering system in (wasn't even expensive). I am now a true believer that regular watering on a timer does wonders.
