Well what about –
“Hear hear!
I thought these sort of “acceptable game standards” only
got legitimately applied to certain people, below a certain social caste?
Like “dole bludgers”, “boat people on millionaire allowances”, “single
mums” and their sort of “currant affair game” – then it’s all right and funny?
Or is that just sour grapes?”
Zut, regarding Salix babylonica, in Australia they are all male, and reproduce vegetatively, so whether a root is good or not seems not to depend on how many are involved.
Heaven help us the first time a female plant is brought into the country.
HOLDEN B: I’ll bet you know how, or where, to receive instructions about building a possum nest? The little darlings are ravaging my four roses. Behaviour I do not wish to have repeated on my other plants; so I thought to make them so welcome they might stay and fight off marauding other possums.
They’re eating apples, peanut butter on bread, something revolting called nutrella and any other crispy fruit I can dream up. They have bowls of fresh rainwater to access and now all they need is two different sized boxes/nests. Both ringtails and brush tails are in the neighbourhood. More than this I cannot do……

March 2, 2012 at 10:36 amHolden, sounds like Salix has successfully established an arboreal gay ghetto.
