black bug with white speckles and club shaped antennae on Impatiens plant

Found this cool bug on the yet-to-flower Impatiens. My friend assures me I don’t have to worry about it ^_^

hare-brained schemes

We hadn’t been long after the last update when we accidentally acquired more stuff. We had returned to Bunnings much sooner than anticipated as we had forgotten to buy replacement heat lamps during the last trip and I decided that I really wanted that Elkhorn fern.

And of course a couple more things we “needed”.

The creeping thyme seeds in the picture is actually the result of another gardening argument. There was some really nice grass when we moved in (after we got it under control as everything was massively overgrown, the house had been unoccupied for many months prior). J was always adamant that he would not under any circumstances ever bother wasting any effort on things that didn’t feed us specifically and it didn’t really matter because the grass didn’t care.
