Dawn: just remind me when you are ready. no digging involved they are all in containers. just have to rinse them off and trim them up for travel. I don't know how well they will do going through the winter but I think if its early enough in the fall to give them time before the snow flies then they should do ok.
Sharon: any bamboo you can spare would b great. I love it and can't seem to get enough of them.
evelyn: I got the dmail and will do (rut row) i've already forgot what it said so I will have to go check it again. a mind is a terible thing.....
I am going to try some of the tougher borderline hardy plants this year and leave them in the garden to see if they come back. I had spotted in a white flower farms catalog that datura can spend the winter in my zone. Its going to be fun to see. I also have some ginger's I want to try. hauling them all in every year is a real pain in the rear end.
well we are getting hit with rain again. all day again. last thursday we had 3 - 4" in one afternoon. flooded streets and was quite fun getting my niece to summer school. Just 1 more week of that then its home free time.
Ok next time (later today) i want to cover air layering. anyone have experience with it? yes its kind of like th ole' rock on a stem trick but not also.
here is a pic of Scutellaria aka scull cap. Its only like 6 to 8" tall and covered with the neat little fuschia flowers. I am currently trying to get cuttings going. of course I had to do a tray of 50, as I never try to root anything in small quantities.
Stay dry
