I hope it then eats them Cookie otherwise it really has no purpose in the garden.
Maybe  keeps them away from back door.

Not really sure of its purpose other than making that flower. I won it in a raffle at Car Club. It was in flower and I loved it. We planted it under the roses and it is expanding rapidly. It is a soft cactus. I may have to cull it as it is almost crazy in its growth.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

When we had the Woofers staying, they helped set up this garden. Sent them this photo so they could see how it was going.  Thought I would share it here also.   I now have 2 potato grates to set up as wick gardens.

That garden looks so healthy - the plants are certainly thriving and you are in for a good harvest in the future.

They'll be very pleased to see how the garden has grown Chookie.  Where are the woofers now?

That garden looks great , Chookie. I was thinking about your woofers just this morning. I hope they're doing well but somehow doubt they'll now find any experience that comes even close to the one they had during their time with you!! ;D

Think the Woofers may be somewhere near Cairns,  hope they are safe.

Thinking I might have to cover the raised garden when the very cold weather comes.
