Some Success with Cuttings


This is the Mother plant one day I will find the name. Where I was digging the soil one day I found I had covered up a branch of this shrub and it was rooting in the middle of the branch and out of that I have got three new plants below.  The bigger of the three did not have any roots and its taken. I tried so many times to get a cutting that worked.


I have found the flower bed where I improved the soil is working well with my cuttings I am having some success for a change!

This one was under the ground and it just sprung up the other day that was a bonus.




This was the tip that was growing out the ground near the mother plant this had no roots.
This was also from the same plant. This was the part with roots and the stem is semi hard wood.

HOW THE REST IS COMING A LONG

Flowers are popping up over this plant I like the pink ones its strange how there are two colours pink and lilac buds.






I wonder if my brother will still ague the point that this is Rosemary?




I am loving this, its spreading up the wall well chuffed that this took!


here is the other one, that is producing flowers too!


 My sorry attempt at pruning hehe its growing more leafs I am glad about that.



I have made a bit of a boo boo with this I think I have planted my two new plants too near but I am reluctant to move it because it has long roots and I do not want to disturb it.  It took too long to establish itself


I am loving these Sweet Williams they are growing nicely and spreading a bit.  I am so tempted to get some more bedding flowers like these!


I have potted this again must be the third time the pot was too big and the buds was hidden in the pot now you can see them, its a shame this plant is just a annul.  I might try to bring it in doors see if I can save it.




Sweet peas coming along nicely I hope they hold out through the winter months would love to see it grow up the fence.


I got this spreader from a nice lady in my Garden Club she said it spreads like mad.


Flowers still turning green I guess it will not go any other colour this late in the year.




The Ivy is still growing I want it to grow faster


I remember this plant now was giving to me by one of my neighbours 8 years ago it started growing under the stones. Something has been feeding off it!








The Iris plants are coming a long nicely I have 12 all over the garden wonder how many will flower in the Spring?
