Re: Success!!!!!

Must have been Cathy because I totally stink at cuttings; seeds, too. I
think I'm just too busy to pay them the right kind of attention.

Thanks all. It's not really my method. I got it from gardenchat. Jim
S<br>gave some ideas and then I'm pretty sure it was Cathy or Melody
that<br>told me they always keep a box ready for cuttings this way on
the<br>kitchen counter. So I tried it with tenders with great results. I
wasn't<br>sure it would work for woodies, but it did. It's not
necessarily more<br>fun than your method Zem, but you can get a lot of
them in a small<br>space.<br><br><br>Kitty<br><br>-- Pam Evans
