Re: Brugmansia cuttngs

I think I'm going to plant all of these. Then, in a year or so, take cuttings from them--perhaps for sale. I have a lot of plants in 1- and 3-gallon nursery pots that I ought to give some TLC to and have a yard sale. I've been somewhat reluctant to have a yard sale because we have zillions of plants in pots everywhere and I didn't want to spend a day saying "Yes, that one; no, not that one." But maybe if I sold specific things--"For Sale: three 3-gallon Bismarckia seedlings, $20 each"--maybe it would work. Have to think about that. This is definitely the season to try it, when all the snowbirds are here.

Gosh Jim, you're so good at this - can you find homes for all the new
plants you make? I'm sure Squinty would be a lot of help. You just need
patience! Slugger loves to help me trim the grass edges with the hand
shears. I worry someday I'll cut off one of his toes.

The brugmansia cuttings, kindly supplied by Marge, rooted readily in
water; Squinty and I potted them up Xmas eve [which is why she's no
longer allowed on the potting bench]. It's been cool here since--nights
low 50s, days mid 60s--but they have really grown in the lathhouse
environment [damp, semi-shade]. All have sprouted adult-sized leaves,
raising the possibility that some of them may bloom before it's time to
set them out in spring.

Speaking of Spring, I'm ready. Had enough winter. Ready for the 75-85
degree days and short pants.
