Given up offering advice, but here's a possibly useful link http://www.bushfood.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=566&p=3779&hilit=solanum+nigrum#p3779

Kind of a long quote from the Tao Te Ching 24. EXCESS He who stretches beyond his natural reach, does not stand firmly upon the ground; just as he who travels at a speed beyond his means, cannot maintain his pace. He who boasts is not enlightened, and he who is self-righteous does not gain respect from those who are meritous; thus, he gains nothing, and will fall into disrepute. Since striving, boasting and self-righteousness, are all unnecessary traits, the sage considers them excesses, and has no need of them.

Call me old or weird or whatever but for some reason this thread made me think of this song..

Walking barefoot around the garden and tending to my little plant friends Making people giggle unexpectedly Listening to the owls flirt with each other on the power pole in front of my house (and trying to see them in the dark!) Multiple orgasms with a sexy partner Sitting beside a window on a cold winters day and watching the rain pour down Being able to feel good in the first place.

bahhaa is that Alby Mangels? I remember him and his bikini-clad sidekicks in that tv show from the 80's

omg Tipz, now your thumb slash arm is messed up too? Get well soon, three types of intravenous ab's wtf ?!?!?! Rest, drink water, rest, eat, but most of all rest you freakin maniac!

I don't suppose anybody here has any Tepary beans - Phaseolus acutifolius It's an American bean that thrives in dry hot weather, they sound good for the Australian climate. All I can find on google is some reference to a study on the symbiotic performance of the Tepary bean. So presumably, they are in Australia. Anyway, if anyone has some or knows where I can obtain any seed, please let me know Cheers

FancyPants, I loved your rainbow aura pic!

Hi Tipz, when/if you get the chance, could you possibly ask your mate if he knows where to obtain Capparis spinosa subsp. nummularia It's known as a Native passionfruit, despite being a caper etc.. thanks

Wow, that'll teach me to keep an eye on my own threads. Thanks Recalcetrant, have just sourced some seeds of Pelargonium australe and hope to grow a shitload of them.

Bit of a strange question here... I've been looking up toilet paper plants and so far can only find reference to Hibiscus heterophyllus? Does anyone have any info on Aussie plants that are suitable for use as toilet paper? I've read that Arla bush is another alternative but not native to Australia so i'm specifically enquiring about Australian plants that can be used as toilet paper lol Not that i'm about to swap my bog roll for a leaf anytime soon but i'm interested in growing such a plant, if indeed there are any Australian plants suitable for such! thanks

Did you end up making your lollies from your plant? Are you talking about Hibiscus splendens or Malva preissiana?? Also what colour were the flowers? thx

Thats so sad about your cousin, I don't believe in co-incidences at all though, so your strange event isn't so surprising to me, but obviously you learnt something from it so it happened for a reason. All the best and sorry to hear about your relative.

I'm watching Futurama with a 4yo. Fun times.

Ouch, go to the drs eh? Surely they can numb your foot, remove the spines and give you some kind of pain relief. Sorry if thats too *western* for advice lol I feel so bad for you!! Poor foot.

Oh wow, lovely plants And such a neat garden, I like it. Is that Passiflora herbertiana? If so, how did you get your seeds to germinate? Was it easy? I can't seem to get any of mine to germ Your Echinacea looks awesome, I can't wait til my 2 seedlings get as big and lush as that. I ended up killing my Withania somnifera from sab. Good to see what it *would* have looked like. Great pics, thanks for sharing.

I can only see clouds, and no UFO.
