garden thief

Someone has reached over the fence in my little (not secure) garden and stolen a container. It's not the loss of the pot or plant that's annoyed me....it was only an iceplant and they're so easy to propagate......but the fact that someone's done it in the first place. Gardening is one of my comfort blankets. My little garden runs at the side of the terrace and is the entrance to our and nextdoor's back gardens. It used to be a gravel cat toilet but over the last two years I've worked hard to turn it into little wildlife garden for bees and butterflies. It's been a bit of trial and error as it's so dry even just after it's been watered because the water drains straight through but now it's beginning to take shape. I use low and high sedums to give it a bit of colour all year (an ice plant is a tall sedum) and to try to hold what bit of soil I've managed to introduce into place. People passing often comment on it and say how nice it is. So it's not just a theft from me but from everyone who enjoys looking at my little plot.

I've put a many branched bush there now....let's see them take that and not lose an eye lol
