Op shop treasures

Love this japanese plate and the makers mark on the back

Finding treasures that are usefull and useable fits in with my personal belief of recycling and reusing items others no longer want - a small way of helping the environment.

In the garden

John's garlic and potatoes are growing well and these eggfruit are the best I have managed to produce so far (along with the purple basil).
