SayN

^ and dolphins! OMG - they just turned up here. Fortunately, I was having a shit at the time so didn't hear the knock on the door - just witnessed them leaving. yay.

Lol - welcome to the SAB church. That was a confession, right?

Yeah, the scop X psycho0 was from herbalistics. I purchased a pack of 5 and planted them in a row at the back of my collection - so I never lost track of which ones they were. No mother to show off as all have been pruned in the last six months and i've never had a single pup which, so i've read, is indicative of the species. Of course, now they are cut they're pupping up quite well. Yes, the first pic is a four-ribber.

Damn Brendo, you're absolutely correct. It is indeed Echinopsis cuzcoensis 'KK 340' purchased from SAB on Anzac day 2010!! Totally forgot i'd purchased this...

All were purchased from Herbalistics in 2009, 2010, 2011. Sorry, I just took them at their word... Edit: Actually, now you've got me doubting myself about #1. Definitely not (purchased as) Cuzco but wondering if it's my HB02??? Meaning I gave Nibbana my Bridgesii x Pach... Edit again: Oh poo. Is HB02 - Cuzcoensis??? lol This page confuses me --> http://herbalistics.com.au/product/trichocereus-hb02-cactus and if i google "Trichocereus HB02" one of images that looks like mine just happens to be from Herbalistics but when I save the image the name of the image is Cuzco... the plot thickens.

Although i refuse to believe grundle sailor was a fucking einstein...

Fuck yeah.

Er, how will you see? Barely a snack there - you'd be best simply admiring them when they appear but leaving them alone.

I strongly doubt this is practical and would suspect the chances of contamination are quite high. It's probably a moot point though considering the intended purpose. Frankly, I think you'd be better off making a spore print hat.

Thaumaturgy

I'm growing some tomatoes at the moment and noticed a few blemishes on them and some attacks by what I presume are caterpillars. So I asked my wife to pick up some "Tomato and Vegetable dust" from Woolies as i've noticed other growers using them. Yet when I actually read the safety precautions, particularly the "harmful to bees" line i'm like wtf. So its going back to the store for a refund. I would appreciate any suggestions to safer alternatives for my tomatoes.

i'm busy on Sunday too otherwise it sounds awesome (the waterfall had me sold). Hope y'all have a good day. Someone take some pics.

OK. I didn't read all of this thread, just the table of contents at http://www.articulationsbook.com/ Julian, you may need to update your web page to reflect the addition.

Er, can't help noticing the lack of fungus. Have they become passe?

oooh. perdy. pm'd too.

I'm a big fan of Hayao Miyazaki's animated films (just look at my avatar). Porco Rosso is one of my favourites (the English version not subtitled):

hmm - i'll research the diatomaceous earth as i've long suspected there is something wrong with mys soil. I put compost down regularly but my compost is generally just decomposed grass (and weed) cuttings. I have planted a whole heap of marigolds this year as a companion plant. it's interesting to observe the difference in growth of them in the same garden bed. might post a picture.

Please keep going even though it hurts to read.

Saw this out walking today. Any ideas. And before anyone asks, no I have no plans on eating them.

Only a few boring ones Sal. A nice Brug: The native stingless bee hive (so small and cute): A sculpture:

Yeah, I really enjoyed meeting everyone today. A nice crew of down to earthers... just as I'd hoped.

Umm cactus garden makes more sense for me - seeing I'm not coming by car. Maybe it should be the first point of call either way. Yeah, i second the bummer call.

i'm just thinking of bringing some water and maybe a packet of chips. It's worth checking out the gardens link https://www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/Visit to see what's on. I picture us roaming (marauding?) through the park rather than being too static - but will just go with the flow on the day. See you all Saturday - 10:30 sharp.
