Yesterday

I was digging up the cuttings I had stored for the winter under the rhododendron (wow, I spelled it correctly!) and by the looks of it my azalea cutting has survived and looking well! No place to plant it but hey, a cute tiny little mini azalea is enough to put a smile on my face.

I did not remember to buy some rotting hormone though…

I only dug up one of my little storage places and mixed result. The things that looked very promising was, pampas grass and creeping baby’s breath. A tiny little thing was peeking up in a Physostegia Virginia but it could be something else. Anyway, placed them all in the greenhouse along with the cuttings and let’s see how it goes.

Didn’t plan for it but…

My dog ran into my azalea so instead of just throwing the branch I saved it for cuttings. No idea if it will work. I kept them all inside for a few days because I forgot about them (and it was raining) but today I finally got them into a pot, all by the edge of the pot (people say that’s good for cuttings) and all of them I used some rotting hormone on. Have to remember to buy some more of that in the spring…. I should make a spring list.

Today

Planted some poppies by the greenhouse, “Victoria Louise” and I still have a few pots left of her but not idea where to plant her so I will have to tuck her and all of her little friends in for winter and come up with something next season. I wonder how long it will take before they bloom… Maybe tiny little blossom next season? Let’s hope so. So that means that it was probably “Carneum” that I planted by the Tea Corner. (I’m very sloppy and I always lose track of what I plant where and so on.)

Took a few lavender cuttings and another yew, I used some rooting hormone on all of them. Even though I have several small plants of lavender everywhere and will most likely sow more next spring… why? Because I can I guess.

Yew cuttings

Got four yew cuttings from my little escapade. I scraped the stems a little before dipping them in some rooting hormone and them planted then in individual plastic pots. Now I have to wait until spring (or more) to see if they were a success.
