Are the leaves fragrant when you crush them? It looks like a sort of Eucalyptus - there are dozens of varieties.

sky is I believe in the general neck of the woods of Oxford.

Re: All shook up
thought I had better check in. A very scary quake but no major damage here, although either the house or the deck is no longer horizontal and one or the other has risen or sunk, not sure which.
I am just so fed up of the after shocks.

Re: We have gone and done it
seeds are growing nicely, however after the quake we will need to re build the flood and drain table as instead of being horizontal it is the plant seedling equivalent of a roller coaster. Fortunately non of the plants were lost and the tunnel house withstood it fine.

Re: Most hated vegetable Poll

Re: Anyone thinking about growing hydroponically?
So hopefully next year I will have great fun finding out just what will grow hydroponically and what won't. :study: pretty well anything can be grown hydrponically, you just may have to change the particular method as things like bananas are suited to NFT sytems and have to be grown in large pots o...

Re: Anyone thinking about growing hydroponically?

The hottest temperature we have ever measured was 46C in the garage which does not have a clear roof). What you will need to do is ...
