Doxxing capacity maximised... πŸ‘€ 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

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.

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.
