It's been rather a washout here in Ireland this week. I only managed half a day gardening outside. Yesterday we bought three bags of potting compost and I spent the afternoon and this morning potting on my cuttings.
It's always a joy to see if they have grown roots. There are hydrangea, dog wood, hebe, rosemary, fuchsias, cotoneasters, sedums, nepeta, pelargoniums, lavender.. Lots and lots of new plants. The majority are shrubs with a few dozen perennials. Most perennials can be divided but I like to make cuttings too.
A glimpse inside the polytunnel. There are lots of newly rooted cuttings, kale plants and potato stalks emerging from the polystyrene packaging.
Hardwood cuttings can start to be taken now. I tend to make lots of cornus or dogwood cuttings at this time of year. You can make your own little shrub nursery and plant them directly in the soil in the veg plot or grow them in large pots in a cold greenhouse or polytunnel. Just water them if necessary. Next Spring they will start sprouting leaves and roots.
Have you had much success with cuttings?

It will be great to see the cuttings take, I am sure you will have great success and some to sell on. Nice to see such a great variety you are putting in, including things like Rosemary.

DeleteHi Rachel. Potting them on allows me to see if they have roots yet. The majority of them have. I just take cuttings of any shrub l find in the gardens. I didn't even bother using any hormone rooting powder this batch. It was just a matter of keeping them regular watered and weed free. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteA fellow in the park called to ask if he could take some of the butterfly bush I left behind at the old trailer, that now has new tenants, who we never see, and are not around to ask. I understand he did it in the dark of night, anyway.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne. Every garden needs a Buddleia bush. I made half a dozen cuttings too. The Butterflies love the Sedums too. The fellow in the park sounds like he's a very dedicated gardener. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHydrangeas would be very welcome in my garden. Not sure what happened to my last one.
ReplyDeleteAphids attack them. I thought that was why mine were going red/brown. But it turned out it was a mixture of wind burn and not enough water. They dont seem to like being cold wind blown
DeleteHi Sol. That's another good reason for taking cuttings. We lost most of our Osteospurnums and Hebes in 2010. Now we have almost replaced all the ones we lost to the snow and frost. Some people leave Hydrangeas flowers on the shrub until spring to prevent the rot going down the softwood stems. Hope you're well. It's getting colder here. How's Scotland?
DeleteHi Valerie. Lidl had some lovely Hydrangeas a month or so a go. I think they were pink. They are very easy to root from their softwood cuttings. I have over a dozen new Hydrangea plants. Thanks.
ReplyDeletemy success rate is really quite bad here in Scotland for cuttings. It really is down to it being colder and that I dont have a poly tunnel or a green house.
ReplyDeleteYes cuttings and tender plants need glass or plastic to protect them. Even on very wet days you can still potter about and do some gardening. You'll have to drop some hints for your Christmas presents Sol.
ReplyDeleteif I cant find one on gumtree it wont happen for a few years, I will have to save the pennies
DeleteI knew someone who made a polytunnel out of plastic water pipes, polythene sheeting and a wooden doorframe. It worked brilliantly.
ReplyDeleteFirst tunnels have a mini tunnel for sale for one hundred pounds. Check their website Sol.
Cold frames and cloches are good too.
thanks Dave I will check it out. I need to grow a lot from seed next year to fill the garden with plants as I cant really afford to buy them. Grand designs on the garden and I need to do it for nothing really
DeleteAre there any gardening clubs near where you live Sol? I keep dividing perennials and taking cuttings and any plants we buy get split in two. There are a lot of perennials that can be grown from seed and very inexpensively. Wish you lived near me. I would give and swap perennials and shrubs. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone i am very delighted that i recently got cured of herpes virus. I have been battling with this disease for over 4 years now, ever since i got diagnosed of the virus i have been using medical pills and therapies to suppress the virus. But inside of me i needed the Virus gone cause my health was deteriorating, So i went on to the internet to search on how one could get cured from this virus, when i came across some testimonies on how herbalist razor has helped them get rid of Herpes virus, Hiv/aids, Cancer. I copied out his details (email ; drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com) and Whatsapp number (+2349065420442) as provided by the testifiers on a blog site. But before that i was so skeptical, i knew there are so many herbal doctors on the internet,i needed the one who can help me get through this Herpes Virus completely with his herbal Remedy. I got in contact with doctor Razor,and i explained my problem to him and he promised to help me, which he actually did. I got my medication in the US sent by doctor razor and he instructed me on how i was to take it for 18 days. After the said 18 days i went for medical check up and the doctors ran some test on me and told me i was Herpes Negative, i was amazed and dumb-folded, so i had to go back home, i noticed my health for some months, i didn't have any outbreaks nor symptoms of the virus, but i went to another hospital after 2 months to conduct another test and the same result. I will be forever grateful to you doctor Razor and I will make sure the world gets to know about your herbal exploits sir. Reach doctor razor on his email : drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com or whatsapp/call his cell on +2349065420442

ReplyDeleteHello everyone out there, I'm here to give my testimony about a herbalist doctor who helped me. I was infected with HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS in 2011, I went to many hospitals to heal myself but there was no solution, so I was thinking how I can get a solution so that my body can be well. One day I was in the river thinking about where I can go to get a solution. so a lady walked towards me telling me why I'm so sad and I open everything by telling her my problem, she told me she could help me, she introduced me to a doctor who uses herbal medicines to cure the SIMPLEX HERPES VIRUS and gave me your email, so I sent you an email. He told me everything I had to do and also gave me instructions to take, which I followed correctly. Before I knew what was happening after two weeks, the SIMPLEX HERPES VIRUS that was in my body disappeared. therefore, if you also have a broken heart and need help, you can also send an email to {oliha.miraclemedicine@gmail.com}or whatsapp him number: +2349038382931 or website is https://olihamiraclemedicine.webs.com/
