Re: can we talk... Now cuttings-

When I lived in a colder clime, I found that an inexpensive hydroponic garden with a "gro-light" was a great way to over-winter cuttings of basil, impatiens, and other stuff. The whole set up was about $20.

Maybe we should start another conversation about cuttings? Never did
this, tried to save an entire plant over the winter with out much
success. Gets leggy and dies about March:(

Maybe we should label this message propagation? Seems we have a few
experts on this...

Thanks Zem!  I get a lot of pleasure out of growing the cuttings and
building the containers.  I also get to give away loads of plants to
friends and club members.  It is very satisfying watching a cutting
grow 
into a nicely shaped plant. I have way too many containers!  I bring
many of them indoors in the winter.  I feel like I have a greenhouse
environment indoors!  While the snow is falling, I can enjoy colorful
foliage, blooms and fragrance.  I wish that I had a real conservatory,
but I doubt that that will happen in this life time.
