Then There Were Twelve

Ivy propagation, round 2. Years ago I gave up on planting ivy on our garden boundary walls because it became unmanageable. But a few ivy plants are very good in pots on the patio. Today I bought one at my local garden centre. (Plant, not patio!) I knew when buying it that I'd easily make at least 12 plants from it. So, a few hours later everything is finito. Let the glasshouse work it's magic, along with the rooting powder of course.
Small ivy becomes very big and unmanageable

Tis the Season for Cuttings

Started cuttings of pelargonium, fuchsia and wallflower. Dead or alive? Update coming in a few weeks.
Fuchsias prefer Glenisk organic container.
