| I have been busy making shrub cuttings and dividing perennials. Some of them live outside. In the photo above you can see some fuchsia and Sedum cuttings that I found with roots attached this morning. They only took three weeks to grow roots. These ones have been living outside and have had plenty of rain to water them. |
 |
| Here they are potted up and ready to grow on. Do you like the organized chaos that is my poly-tunnel? An old patio table is now my potting bench. |
 |
| Shrubs that I potted on and grew over the last year or so. Even the paths are full of plants. |
 |
| Sedums in pots and more cuttings in trays. The nettles like it here too! |
 |
| The poly-tunnel is filling up with shrub cuttings next to the Kale and Chilies. |
No doubt about it, that green thumb sticks out like a sore finger!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of your plants
Thanks LA. I do love my plants. Hope you are on the road to recovery Linda. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like the last two photos because they look so lush and lots going on. I like to see things grow.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel. The top picture is my favourite one because it shows the cuttings with roots and once planted they can live on their own. Nature never ceases to amaze.
ReplyDeleteCool photos Dave. I swear I can smell the earth and compost.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gwil. Compost is a great smell. Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteI'll ask for your advice. I cannot bring in my mandevilla for winter. I believe I could find a safe place to keep cuttings to root. Remember my cat!
ReplyDeleteSo, what do I cut to begin rooting, and should I find a rooting hormone like Rootone?
Thank you very much, Mr. Gardner by the Sea.
Hi Joanne. Mandeville like hot temperatures. So a heated greenhouse or a conservatory would suit them best. I sometimes use rooting powder but they will strike/root with out any. It's certainly worth giving it a go. Thanks for commenting.
ReplyDeleteA few days ago bought 5 kilo tomatoes (we had to pick them ourselves) half a dozen zucchinis, a box full of carrots, ditto spuds, some lettuces and lots of other good stuff from a polytunnel farmer woman. 65 euro's worth in all. Wish now I'd taken a photo for you! She even had Hokaido pumpkins as I think they are called. As we were leaving her cat greeted us with a mouse in its lips. It seemed to want to get in our car. Then we had to drive down the lane through 30 or 40 honking geese! Much more fun than going to the shops!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds an amazing place Gwil. All power to the polytunnel farmer woman. Did she have lots of weeds amongst the veg? Always good a sign that they don't use weedkillers. Sounds like the mouse earns its keep too. Would love to see a photo on your blog. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've left a message for you on Rachel's blog to your reply about Lowry. Weeds aplenty and patches of knee high grass. The cat catches and eats 6 mice a week. They stopped using weed killers when her husband got cancer!
DeleteThe cat earns its keep not the mouse!
DeleteGosh! Weeds a plenty sounds great Gwil. The cat sounds a good one. Our Domino works every night looking for Mr and Mrs long tail. Will look at your comment.
ReplyDeleteThe number of mice in Austria is at record levels according to press reports. Some farmers have had their crops of grain decimated.
DeleteThe Pied Piper of Hamlyn would have sorted them. I bet it's no joke for the Austrian farmers.
ReplyDeleteI replied on the wrong blog. I'm watching football. Crispian St Peters.
DeleteCrispian St Peter's sounds like a football team. Love that sixties sound.
