House Plant Journal...Cuttings



I am doing an experiment, and seeing if I can propagate more plants from the cuttings of some of my favorite house plants and vegetable plants. There are quite a few videos and blogs that have guided and informed me on how things should be done, so I am very excited to see how mine will turn out...
List not in any order are :Schefflera, Sweet Peppers, Bell Peppers, Spike Dracaena , Alocasia "Polly" Croton Codiaeum, and Pilea..

My Garden of love...2012








I decided this year was the year to do another garden. I enjoy gardening; it’s a pleasure to wake up every morning to see how big my plants are getting.
Today I am sharing with you my garden and the front yard garden. I began planting late, but here in the south it was colder longer than usual. At any rate my garden is coming along really well.
This is not my first time planting a garden; I had a garden back in 1995, however then
I was growing squash, Okra, and tomatoes.
This time around, I put in my 4X10ft box, watermelon, cantaloupe, corn, green beads, a strawberry plant (picked up at my local farmer market) and collards.
Bet you’re thinking “WOW that’s a lot.”
And you are correct. LOL
Especially for such a small box, need-less-to-say, I had to DOWN size my garden.
So far so good…

Gardening is fun, and therapeutic especially if you have quit smoking
like I have, 12 weeks now. 
WHOOT WHOOT!
Try it, take it one second at a time!
