Hi everyone, I study Horticulture at Burnley, and have been ferreting away any freebies I could get my mitts on, because FREE THINGS. Unfortunately my yard is very modest, and everything has to be kept in pots, so there is little sense in taking tree seedlings/larger plants home. This is where you come in though! You take the things. 2x Eucalyptus camaldulensis (River Red Gum) seedlings 1x Eucalyptus regnans (Mountain Ash). Personally propagated from seed:3x Brachychiton populneus (Kurrajong) 1x Corymbia citriodora (Lemon Scented Gum)These four have a little bit of discolouration from frost damage, but should come along nicely in the warm weather we're starting to get.These probably need potting up soon, but should be ready to put in the ground by summer. 2x Dahlia imperialis 30cm canesThese suckers grow 3m metres tall in a season, and flower in autumn. They are said to have edible leaves, but I'm told they're not that palatable.You can layer them horizontally or vertically, and they will shoot from the node(s). For division: Stylidium (species unknown).I have about six of these densely crammed in a pot, and I think they could do with some separation. If you wanted a couple, they're yours. Everything has been hardened off. Available pick up from Carlton North, Melbourne only.If you want to take them all, or to pick and choose, let me know. Cheers!

Only two bags? I came back with 8, and pickled a whole jar of Lactarius.

Does anyone sift their potting mix? -
Boop, here I am!

Reporting back. Decided to cut because: 1. I don't really care if the plant dies, seeing it cost me nothing. 2. Cutting seemed like it would be fun. 3. I wanted to see its insides. 4. Reasons. Here's what was going on internally. Note the weird yellow discolouration where it looks like maybe a spine or something had pierced the flesh. You'll also see the site of infection, and is that bruising or was it starting to spread? It looks like the kernel, the... middle thing, was turning black. Is this rot, or typical as it leads to roots? Lastly, a cross-section of the in-fection. Shits nasty. Anyway, whether it lives or dies, I cut a cactus open and then licked it, because idiot. What you see above is all discards.

Hey EvilGenius, excuse my noobage, but what antibiotics would I treat cacti with? Didn't even know this was a thing! Also, can you explain 'hard to cut without causing holes'? Where would holes from from? Fucking, two days in a row I'll be going to nurseries. No time for other projects now!

Do I need to cut? (Fucking ikea! They've grown it in a tiny pot and it has gotten root bound, then pulled it and repotted it with soil and stone at the bottom, and heaps of soil around the top which they've grown moss in. Because moss and cacti go SO WELL together. ikea is where cacti go to die.) I noticed a tear in the whitened skin, so I pulled it back and there was a hole with... Well, here 'tis.

If you can identify the species of tree, would be great. Either way, PMing you.

Any of the top five hottest have heat AND flavour? Everyone raves about the burn, but TBH I don't even find Habaneros that exciting, flavourwise, and their heat is weak.

Excuse my naivety, but where do manufacturers even source their soil/mix? On the edge of a rainforest that's being cut down? From beside a crack den? I seriously need a sifter at the moment, but think it's a crime to have to fork out money so you can have a halfway better mix. (Also I need the perlite spread all over the backyard, that came open when the bag decayed...) -
I keep coming back to these images. I would give an arm and a leg to find this on one of my hunts!

Was the research peer reviewed?

THIS IS NOT HAPPENING LA LA LA IT WILL BE FINE YES YES IT WILL

O_O it looks like a Collins guide. I'm sorry, but I have to insist upon my book's superiority Zen, because I'm a jerk. How many species 'feature'?
-
Yeah, I just don't know what it is, but I'm finding this exciting. I agree, I don't think he'd lie about where he found them, especially because it would involve making up a huge story about a turtle. And lying about turtles is not okay. My friends in Hobart yesterday were snowmen and women, so you know Melbourne will put on a good show soon after.

Fuck my life.

There's talk going on over at the shroomery atm that a user in the Hunting and Identification forum, whilst saving a turtle, may have stumbled upon some Pan cyans in the Yarra Ranges. If this is the case, YAY victoria and global warming! Anyone on here ever found any pan cyans in southern vic, during this time of year?

So I was at my local bookstore when I happened upon this book: When I opened it, I was delighted to see that it was beautifully laid out, had some sexy porn, and was just, overall, awesome. It's a hardcover and $60 AUD, and because it's not a field guide (too heavy, and geographically everywhere) it might not interest some, but I wanted to say to people LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL THING because it is a beautiful thing about beautiful things and this is the best birthday present I've bought myself ever. You can look inside the book on Amazon (but don't buy from those bastards). You may now gush in the comments, or proceed on with your forumings. I just wanted to show off my new partner...
