I tried a few odds and ends lat year: Burkwood
Viburnum, Weigela, Josee Lilac, a tall Deutzia. Some of each were
successful, but I was reluctant to sink the pots over winter as I have
lost a few in the past. I did have a couple of 2nd year Deutzias in gallon
pots that had been stressed late in the season (forgot to water) and these, too,
I feared might not winter well outside. These have all been wintering
instead in my garage which only gets down to about 50, sharing the one south
window with several Pennisetum setaceum Rubrum. They seem to be doing
well, but I worry that they should have been allowed to get colder. Time
will tell. I plan to do more of these same varieties, some Buxus, Jetbead,
and a few others.
Also was very successful with Osteospermum and some
Solenostemon. Last year I had huge success with Strobilanthes, but this
year they did very poorly.

Still thinking about seed starting. I do alot of field
work 9 days on and 5 days off 170 miles away from home each april-end
June.
Kinda puts a damper on starting seed for my gardens or even getting
any veggies in.
I do have a little in-house greenhouse set up
I've been using for propagation.
Great fun-trimed back everything I could
(most really needed it anyway)!!
I had the best time with some split leaf
philo stem cuttings after I broke a branch moving the monster. 13 of 15
sprouted very nicely.
Have some fern spores I'm trying to get going and I
know that's going to try my patience, lol!!
Killed a fiddle leaf fig
transplanting it but before it was completly and totally toast, I took the one
cutting that seemed 1/2 way alive-looks like it will be ok as it's sprouting a
small bud at the top.
I'm using IAA to see if that speeds the process
and it looks (from some sansevaria leave cutting experiments) that roots are
faster and bigger with than without it.
What's everyones else up
to?

Hi, don't mind me, I'm just making sure I'm connected. I just joined, but
the confirmation did not specify the address to use. I'm pretty sure this
will work. Thanks.
