Re: Re: Rayna's new house & euonymus

Know exactly what you feel, Jesse. I've been in thrall of plant propagation since I was a little kid and rooted a cutting of one of my aunt's fuchsias. It makes every day a new adventure. Next week [or the week after] I'm going to learn how to graft. I've got several seedling loquats that need good bud wood not to mention avocados.

Wonderful...thanks Jim. I'll start looking for those. I'm getting into
the propagating for two reasons: it's cool, and...I'm cheap. I have a
houseful of kids. I'm not going to go out there and spend a small
fortune on plants that I can propagate from my yard. And it's just COOL
to be able to create another plant....sounds corny, but I feel like
"one" with the universe when I figure out this stuff. It's like that
scene in Castaway where Tom Hanks is going on and on about how HE
created FIRE. WOO HOO.
