    <ching> (tentatively)... I thought spruce cos spruce cones hang down and fir cones hang up. Everyone knows that. But the pic of the cones is upside down cos the white side is the underside and should be down but is up. So if the pic of the cones was the right way round they would hanging up. They may still be spruce but er... that's all.

    Yerp. Brasso; but for a shiny finish after grinding paste rather than instead of grinding paste.

    Here's a thing I'd forgotten about until today when I did it without thinking. On the very old style Briggs and Stratton carbs, as on an antique Hayter Harriette that you might still be using or some other cherished piece of machinery when you've stopped for a short while and they won't start again cos warm, however much you pull pull pull, just whip off the air filter and put a small stick or stem of grass down the inlet to hold the butterfly valve open. Guaranteed to start next pull. [Remove same before replacing filter]

    I'm beginning to wonder I'm thinking C. alba and the like are shrubby. multistemmed, circa 3metre max rather than single stem tree like ?5meter plus. Scotspine, I've just noticed your later comment re insignificant flowers - which in turn, would suggest v.small clusters of berries. Again I'm thinking C. alba and the like are larger berries than the ones I saw. But like I say; I'm beginning to wonder: the force is strong... must...resist...

    Bump. Was this at a regular customer or on a one off visit? And could you get another look? I thought it looked familiar so went and had a look in a bit of hedgerow where I thought I had seen it growing myself and wondered what it was and found two saplings there with the same opposite, deeply veined, well spaced, leaves but not growing as a multi stemmed shrub like you might expect a cornus to and whereas the usual cornus have quite distinctive berries and the kousa and suchlike have larger hanging strawberry/arbutus like fruits, the one I looked at has just a small cluster of very small berries smaller even than those small metallic purple berries on the viburnum tinus. I wondered if yours has the same, then this might narrow it down a bit. I still don't know what it is mind, but I know someone who might and will be meeting them soon.

    Crop ID...

    Yournamehere replied to sloth's topic in The Lounge

    <google image looks> yep looks good; also overcomes my doubt re: vi. bugloss which was the elongated stamens which this lacks. Good call.

    Crop ID...

    Yournamehere replied to sloth's topic in The Lounge

    Hmmm. T'ent really like flax is it? Has only got four petals to flax having five, and those clusters of blooms aren't right either. I don't immediately recognise it but it's more like an echium; the wild variety of which is vipers bugloss. Esp with those 'square' petals. Google that for an image search an see what you think. But, again not my...field... but don't know of it being a crop plant. Echium pic here

    Man the changing rails machine is the best! Like you I can see the railway from my window and when that machine comes along it's like a 30 yard slug from hell, all blazing lights and jets of steam, and crawling through the night at about a yard a second. Che-bung clang clang, ch-bung clang bang. Che-bung clang clang, ch-bung clang bang. Wooh wooh! Che-bung clang clang, ch-bung clang bang. Che-bung clang clang, ch-bung clang bang. All through the night. Worth staying up for.

    Excellent advice there. If done correctly though, the top, cut, section should fall away and the butt section, to which you are safely roped off, should then return, by the weight of the root ball, to it's original position, from which you can make a controlled, vertical descent. Apparently. The danger arises when the butt of the top, cut, section hits the ground, the top untangles itself - de-uphangs in technichal parlance - and falls over towards the butt before you get clear and kills you.

    Yep! What he said. The wild variety, with more uniform petals, is knapweed.

    Good grief! That's a bit vacuous, even for you. Where did you find air thin enough to pluck that out of? Mercury?
  18. Yournamehere
    How's that? You're very welcome. Happy days.

    Update here . Tis a bit long but plainly writ. Book-mark it, print it off and read at lunchtime on monday. As someone in another place remarked,"the 'Glyphosate is Bad' conspiracy is just a conspiracy then?" Hope it's of some interest. Happy Days Yourn

    It coulda bin worse... Imagine if she had a slight notion that the stem might bounce a bit when it fell and she took a couple or three steps backwards (away from us). Wallop! Straight down on her head came the tree.
