Propagation This Month

@Andre Murphy I try to root pretty much everything i deadhead or prune ...some i have success some not ...it's such a cheap way to propagate and bulk up your garden and when you see the result its a real feel good factor Im always rooting something.... i luv it Only today after visiting a...

I reckon runner bean pods are best left on the plant [1] until they go crispy, then let them dry out further under cover, and dry out some more after removing from the pods until they are thouroughly dry before packing away.Some varieties are harder to save than others. I find White Lady...

I sowed some in early spring just into pots & then into a warm spot on the window sill, germination was fairly quick.No special treatment.

Agree, and I did ... from Shineyland My variegated London Pride from Shineyland is a sort after "wannabe" amongst my garden club friends: now I have a grow house, they stand a chance of a cutting (or half ) They can have a whole one is they give a contribution to "the cause"

Turns out there was a nice new clump of fresh growth as well as an old stalky bit (still with some new shoots) so has turned out ok! Just hoping the three cuttings from last year do ok now theyre in the garden-they had a good root ball on them so fingers crossed

Careful Pete, you'll find your greenhouse full of Pals's seed trays

Just what I was looking for @HarryS & @JWK :cmonhug:

I just did this with laurel. A lot cruder though!! Trimmed a hedge and cut some of the clippings above leaf joint took some of the leaves off. Stuck 100 of them in the ground fingers crossed a few will grow. If not..... Oh well..... No harm. will do the same in Autumn when I trim it again...

Thanks Pamsdish, that's a great thread. Was just wondering if there was anything I could divide now. Best wait.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks "M". I wish I could put it in the garden but it can't cope with the wind.Yes, I would take younger growth Harry and take several as back-up. I wasn't successful with them.

That sounds so easy just to put it straight in the ground, I've always taken about a six inch cutting and treated like a baby in the greenhouse, I'll try your method next time. It's so helpful what we find on GC.

Lake Superior has lots of nice beaches to visit.. in the summer

Thank you for an interesting answer to all that responded, I have always wondered.

If you're in the UK, it's too cold at the moment for chillis and toms to be outside as night time temps will fall even though it seems nice and warm in your mini greenhouse during sunny days. You could get a max min thermometer and put it in your mini greenhouse to check. As has already been...

No experience with Nigeria Victor, but I should imagine spinach would romp away as soon as temps pick up.

Dont know it the quick answer, surely there must be some info available from specialists, you could even try a local nursery that deals in fruit trees. This place is just down the road from meJust click on information on rootstocks.Seems they use a few different ones dependin on the size...

Clivia = patience!They are slow!

Many thanks I'm thinking it may be a bit hit and miss re slugs. I appreciate your knowledge Slugs are troublesome here, might have to re think
