I spent an hour or so potting on my Osteospermums new plants t🪴 that I propagated from cuttings a couple of months of go.
Regular readers will know I have lots of second hand plant pots and I make my potting soil from topsoil and well rotted fym.
In total there are forty new plants ready to go in ours and carbooters customers herbaceous perennials borders.
All it cost me was giving the cuttings a dip in organic rooting powder, tlc and regular water and potting on.
If ever I had to choose my favourite perennial it would be my Cape Daisies or Osteospermums.
Do you have a hobby that you love and pays for a few cans of beer and maybe a takeaway?
Like I often say on here, gardening need not cost you much money, especially if you're a plantaholic like me.
I hope they earn you a few beers. You deserve it after all that work in the hot Irish sun!
ReplyDeleteThanks JayCee. You need an hobby in the Irish Riviera. Back to monsoon season tomorrow and this week. Typical.
DeleteYou said today would be a Yorkshire-related post. You're like the BBC.
ReplyDeleteI forgot sorry. I often write a few blog posts together and keep to the order I compose them. Do they have Osteospermums in Yorkshire Tasker? I use to like Peasholm Park in Scarborough when went there on family holidays.
