Gday, A mate was extending his herb garden and asked if I would like to dig out "That bloody bottlebrush". Really loose sandy soil, half hour of sweating and off home with it. Washed it down, put gel on the roots, and planted it and placed onto my ICU table.

It has had a rough life what with the gentle control pruning, so I hope it will be happier with me. Any comments, critiques or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks,

Now, there is a nice start. Not much to do at the moment except to let it grow.
