@pam.. a lady after my own heart.. i am never happier then when in garden.. i did cuttings yesterday and hope to carry on today.. i did vebenia rigida, perrenial wallflowers, penstemons, apple blossom geranium, buddehlia... loads more to do today for next year.
sowed seeds for my foxglovesvarious colours, maltease cross, primroses, polyanthus and cowslips.
and i always listen to Radio 2.. takes me back..
gardeningfanatic - have you taken cuttings of Verbena rigida before? The reason I ask is that I bought a plant this year and absolutely love it I listen to radio 4 - like the plays and listening to all the discussions that go right over my head
This is my first year with a greenhouse. I am not planning to heat it over the winter but I wondered if I take cuttings of pelargoniums will they overwinter ok or will I need to bring them indoors. I did think I would put bubble wrap inside to insulate and cut out any draughts.
Yes i too take cuttings of Fushia's, Pelagoniums,Pansies,etc but nothing like you,what a wonderful escape and pleasure. Wish my windowsills were a LOT bigger.
pam.. no this is first year for me too. but i added to my scrapbook how to ake cuttings from a piece on this site.. so easy.. also i have noticed the ones in the garden have grown shooters out.. some at leat 8 ins away.. they grow from root base bit like tuberus plants.. wasnt expecting that.. so i ahve dug them up today and potted on and have 4 more plants.. you can check the peice out via clciking on me and going to scrap book i think.
