Dicksonia Antarctica the weed

Dicksonia Antarctica the weed

I took these from the secret island, many tiny tree fern plants. I was not only allowed to take them but was encouraged to do so as they weed them out and I was doing them a favour. I had nothing to carry them out with and I did not want to be cheeky so I did not go too mad. Top Secret Island Liga but if you were on my friend list then I could let slip where it was.

Would you consider ME to be a friend of yours?   :)


MartinB MartinB 17 July 2010 10:29:29

Sure thing, but one has to go out by boat and no one there would take anyone out :-)


Jacinta Jacinta 17 July 2010 10:30:47

So did you swim? You didn't say that you were secretly THE MAN FROM ATLANTIS.


MartinB MartinB 17 July 2010 10:34:40

There were very important people in our group some of which must have had pull as we were feasted on tea and scones when we arrived by boat. It took 3 trips to take us all over. You cannot see the island from the shore as it is around the other side of the land and there are other islands there too, so even if a boat could be found you might never be.


Jacinta Jacinta 17 July 2010 10:36:41

Oh for Gods sake, Martin. Just tell us what island it was.....


MartinB MartinB 17 July 2010 10:40:57

Now you've embarrased me as I don't know where the hell we were, I was following in convoy. It was in Kerry, I do know that.


Jacinta Jacinta 17 July 2010 10:41:55

Were you blindfolded?


Rachel Rachel 17 July 2010 10:45:04

Are you going to plant those young tree ferns on top of your dead trunks?


Jacinta Jacinta 17 July 2010 10:46:23

No RaCHEL. Martin has already sent his trunks/togs to Fran. They might be a bit uncomfortable in the nether regions.  :)


MartinB MartinB 17 July 2010 10:46:33

Jacinta we went to many places over the few days. Rachel that is correct.


MartinB MartinB 17 July 2010 10:48:20

Jacinta he stole the trunks. But maybe he needs something to help fill them, so I might send him one


Jacinta Jacinta 17 July 2010 10:49:11

Ha ha stop! Too much information.


Jacinta Jacinta 17 July 2010 10:51:15

So Martin, how many baby tree ferns did you manage to get? I AM your friend. Hint, hint.


MartinB MartinB 17 July 2010 10:52:59

Not sure, will pot them on today and see. Fran could let you have his one once he had finished with it.


Jacinta Jacinta 17 July 2010 10:54:25

Are we talking about the same thing?  No, surely not.


MartinB MartinB 17 July 2010 10:55:24

The one for filling his trunks


Jacinta Jacinta 17 July 2010 11:03:11

Stop now, Martin. He's back online.


fran m fran m 17 July 2010 11:05:50

Laughing here and no comment to make, good luck wit the ferns, they are in good hands, not sure about state of 'mind' of the minder. though. 


Jacinta Jacinta 17 July 2010 11:06:52

:)


Noelfitz Noelfitz 17 July 2010 16:33:39

If there is no growth on tree ferns by now are they definitely dead?


Lìga Lìga 17 July 2010 23:44:37

I'm too nosy....
