50
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,400

51
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,079

00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: French Well, actually there is a French panny. It's not potted.

53
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: It's in my front sort of little bit, you know,

54
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: and that has been there since I moved in.

55
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: So that's at least like Debbie, because look at Debbie,

56
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,440

60
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: I reckon, we can do better, you know, absolutely, I

61
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: did one. I did a bit of a check at home.

62
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: We have one, but I don't know whether it counts.

63
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: It's a bulb from a previous plant that's been just

64
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: sort of handed down through generally, as long.

65
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: As it's in a pot, it's growing, it's qualified.

66
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: Okay, well then it's over sixty. It's over sixty, possibly

67
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: nudging seventy. Oh, but I'm not eligible.

68
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: You're not eligible. No. We did get a text that

69
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: says twenty five years umbrella tree, but they didn't leave

70
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: their name. So we've moved up to.

71
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: Write the name in the book. If you don't leave

72
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: us name, come on, that's true, good lord.

73
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: The oldest potted plant in town is what we're looking

74
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: for today.

75
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Yes, Lisa gave us a Robert plant a little bit earlier.

76
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: I'll take your Robert planted and I'll raise you a

77
00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: ween good reason too.

78
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: Weird momentue music that was.

79
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: A high point of nineties music right there. Yes, that

80
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: I think there might have been a bit of pot

81
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: in that.

82
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 2: That was a far cry from the Immigrants song. That

83
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: certainly was that.

84
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: Plan, But I was always looking for an excuse for

85
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: push the Little Daisies.

86
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: All right, all right, all right, we're getting we're getting

87
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 2: a lot of texts. But right now we've got Kath

88
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: in lath Lane on the line, Cath, how old is yours?

89
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: Good morning?

90
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: Yes, I've got an aspaedistra, which is known as a

91
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: cast iron plant because it survives to be colet. Yes,

92
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 3: and I've had I've had it since I was a

93
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: gardener at Queen's Garden, so I've had it for thirty years.

94
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: Oh that's all right. So we're up from twenty to

95
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: thirty and the way you've just described at Cath, it

96
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: should last at least another thirty.

97
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: Yes, I reckon definitely definitely sounds like that could be

98
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: my kind of plan.

99
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: And so that was a Queen Queen's gardens.

100
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: Is that the one just is that the one just

101
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: down practically opposite that?

102
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, it's fortunate enough to be able to

103
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 3: take a really easy to subdivide. So I was fortunate

104
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: enough to take some home. Yes, and I've had it on.

105
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 3: I've moved the house and I've had it. It's great

106
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 3: for your front Branda, yeah, also inside. So really it

107
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 3: survives like extreme shade and doesn't require much water and

108
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: you can neglect it.

109
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: Selling plan for me, I would say that we'd swing

110
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: by after work and pick some up, but I think

111
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: we might get in trouble. We won't do that.

112
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: But did.

113
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: All right?

114
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: Can you do it? Battling to keep up?

115
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,840

116
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: a hard time sort of keeping on top of what's

117
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,880
