I started potting on twenty Osteospermums cuttings today.
I took them in Autumn and placed them in small plant pots with a very sandy medium mix.
Today I decided to pot them onto bigger pots full of homemade compost:
Then I will attempt to sell them at carboot sales this summer. I only charge two Euros fifty per plant.
Anyone else make plants for an hobby?
They look very strong plants, which hopefully will sell.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marlene. The gardens will have lots of colour if they don't sell. You can also grow them from seed.
ReplyDeleteI'll be getting into propagation big time from now on. I have started seed collection and have filched a few self sown seedlings from around the big garden.
ReplyDeleteI would love to start my own plant nursery TM. I don't think the countryside next to the sea is the right place. You could sell seeds.
DeletePS I grew those osteospermums from collected seed in Greece and got some really wild colour variations.
ReplyDeleteYes TM I suppose it's which flowers the bees have chosen to pollinate. Saying that a Dandelion or a daisy in a lawn makes me smile. I love Ossties.
ReplyDeleteNice to see that Jean has been keeping you out of mischief Dave... "Get out there and repot the osteospermums lad! Or there'll be no tea for you today!"
ReplyDeleteGet outside away from the noise of the washing machine and the Hoover YP. Soon it will be petrol ride on lawnmower season to listen to.
ReplyDeleteI see that you have a Red wind warning Dave... Stay safe please x
ReplyDeleteThanks GZ. It will be hot whiskeys and batten down the hatches on Thursday night. I hope my poor polytunnel survives Storm Eowyn.
ReplyDeleteThey look good strong plants. You should do well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jabblog. Making plants is my obsessive hobby. Another plant propagation post tomorrow.
