    I have got a few wee lemon eucalyptus growing in the greenhouse, but know nothing about their overall care - I take it they are pot dwellers? Is there any special care that they need?

    Dunno mate.
    I bought some seeds a few weeks back, got half a dozen small plants now.
    Not sure why I bought them, just seemed like a good idea at the time.

    On the seed packet it suggests they are hardy, but got my doubts.

      That was pretty much the same for me @pete - bought on a whim. They smell gorgeous when you brush or rub them though.

      They are allegedly edible and can be used for chicken marinade?

      Must admit I dont do much chicken marinade.
      Might stick a few leaves in the Bacardi though.
