Agapanthus is a very tough plant with striking flowers, but it is a signficant environmental weed in Victoria, so if you have some near you with seed heads, please dead-head them and dispose in your green waste bins. Thanks.

Stolen cars  We are hearing alarming reports of cars being taken overnight in this area.  The usual method seems to be the offenders get into the house and steal the keys.  Please be careful and make sure you lock up well, and stay safe.

Happy Reading!
