Hello everyone.
Just a quick reply this morning as its time I wa sgetting ready to go out. Hospital group today.

Nev, to answer your question re Roundup.
I have used other products that contain glyphosate, which, as you say, is the main ingredient in Roundup. They do work , but I think a bit more slowly.
We always bought ours at the local Agriculture store. I think its a bit stronger than the version in the shops.
I always add a bit more anyway.
I have used it undiluted on the stumps of small trees etc and it has killed them off.
On persistent plants, keep applying when you see new shoots and it should eventually get rid of the problem.

The brugmansia is one I have grown out myself from imported seed.

Trish, your snake encounter sounds hilarious.
Lucky they were occupied though or you may have had nasty bite.
I am sure they had nothing complimentary to say about you....lol

Better move. Hello to Teresa and Brian.
Trish love your De Rolf. Heres mine looking good too.

Jean.
