Puke, why have you deliberately tried to twist this thread? You really are an utterly tiresome little sniper.

Anyone with less than an ounce of common sense will see that Sacha's follow-up is entirely consistent with previous postings. Why have you deliberately called me by this name? I have posted this link not to 'twist' but to show Sacha's inconsistencies, indeed. She had said in February that Olivier couldn't identified the rosemary. She also said she had approached many local nurseries, including Burncoose, and now said that Olivier can't identify it again, two days ago, including other local nurseries. Are the owners of the property still not in after 9 months?! Whatever answer you come up with, I'll ask you nicely not to abuse me, nor threaten me. I do not write to you in this way. |

"Sacha" wrote in message . uk... This is the (somewhat contentious) rosemary I was trying to ID some time ago. Having had some computer problems sorted, I've found the pic of it. I've checked with several gardeners and with a few nurseries and it's only ever known as the 'Salcombe rosemary' round here. As you see, using my car as a scale, it's immensely long and was also trailing across the tarmac of the drive and has to be cut back! It's very tender and seems to survive only in the mildest sea side gardens round here. I've emailed a pic to Olivier Filippi both to see if he can ID it and if he'd like some cuttings! http://i1.tinypic.com/6c6mufk.jpg -- I am VERY jealous!!!! I would love to be able to grow this variety but it wouldn't survive our winters (nor much of Spring & Fall). Here's a pic of the ~20year old specimen that I have to keep in the kitchen bay window for most of the year{:-( http://i12.tinypic.com/5ylxwnn.jpg BTW it's still dark at 8am. We don't put back the clocks until this coming w/e. It's a fuel saving measure forced on all of N.America by "The Shrub". Graham |

Yes, a grapefruit grown from a sprouting seed that one often finds in the fruit. I planted two but the other plant started to exude a resinous substance from parts of the stem. I asked this forum about it but it seems no-one knew what could cause it so, to be on the safe side, I chucked it. The one on the left is a bay laurel. I understand there is some dispute as to whether this is the European or the Californian variety. Either way, the leaves have a very pleasant smell. Graham |

But you generally have to eat them in quantities that few people could stomach to have problems. Nutmeg is a notorious exception. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
