It's probably the way to go with all those things I can't get to take. I'd just have to remember to do it. Eleagnus ebbingei, I'll pin a stem down as soon as the spring comes.
Wait till your verbena starts to grow again, then in late summer have a go at breaking the little side shoots off and potting them up.
Theres not much you can do from cuttings at the moment, keep on with your seeds for the time being, and preparing your ground, you could sprinkle some bone meal in and lightly dig it in.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
I took cuttings form my geraniums just last week and so far so good
As for taking cuttings I picked up a fabulous book called Propagation Basics by Steven Bradley. It's an idiots guide to propagation giving all the information you need on all types of propagation from sowing seeds to grafting and the best time to do it.
It really is an easy to follow guide to getting plants for free.
That looks a good book maybe I will get a copy of it. Will have to try the self layering tech and some cutting bits of verbena B. Seeds I'll be sowing bit more soonish
