Scarecrow Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Finally got my registration through, I'm Jasper, the bearded guy with a hat. Just wanted to thank everyone who was there, you all seem to be hella chilled people and I'm looking forward to becoming a part of this community and learning what I can. I am totally new to gardening, though, so I'll be asking for help left right and center.For example: the plants Carl generously gave me (thanks Carl!) are doing okay, but these artemisia absinthiums are wilting a little. My guess is it's to do with the heat wave, but I guess it might be to do with the fact that they are still confined to these pots? Should I be planting these, or are they probably fine as they are?I was curious if someone could remind me what the name of that drink was though? I asked just before I left, but I'm pretty sure I forgot the name within about ten seconds of walking away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obtuse Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Artemisia are very strong and vigorous plants given the right condtions. they will die off in the winter, so best to get them in a large pot or the ground now, so they have a chance to aclimatise. but once their happy they are near impossible to kill.I love them and have lots, and they smell beautiful.:D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlturney Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hi,OK. Let's have the next one on Sunday the 5th of May. 12 Noon. At the Tecoma Pavillion, Melbourne Royal Botanical Gardens. It's near RBG's Gate C, and at D1 on map 2L of the Melways. Doesn't seem to be any holiday.It will be a good time for the collection of local therapeutic fungi. Maybe a discussion on the identification of all types of popular local plants found in the wild?Hopefully it won't be raining on the 5th (but will be on the days surrounding that date.)Am starting a new thread for this event.Cheers,Carl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
