Avoid fruit and nuts.  You are what you eat.

Hi pookey

I think the server you have the photos on has disallowed external web site connections to reduce their web load.

Can't say that I've seen these before - and I thought my weed collection was extensive.

One thing is obvious though ... your soil is MUCH better than you've described earlier.   Look at the depth of these roots.   PLUS you were able to dig / pull them out in one piece.

It's to prevent hosting images on a free site and using them on high volume sites to reduce bandwidth costs.

Getting rarer now as bandwidth costs have fallen so much in the last couple of years.

Thanks John  and Muntjac,talk about steep learning curve with this computer business!

I think they are just docks.  Kinda hard to make out with the seed head at the far side of the piccy.
