Love those kitty pics, wish I could see my three grandcats.. miss them. Neo is a real charmer.. and that last pic is priceless, Ju. It has finally stopped raining, with over 11 inches in under two weeks the ground is very easy to work here, and today was too hot! Back to work tomorrow.. propagating tools? My daughter gave me a lettuce tub thing that has a removable bin and seeds stay on the bottom while chaff stays in the bin.. I use an old strainer from the fry daddy for bigger things with small seeds, but the easiest way for me is go out with paper bags, mark them and leave the cut offs in the bag until all dry and then shake the bags.. also, my MIL saved all her white rx bags for me for a whole year and they are perfect for putting the lobelias and american bellflower stalks in and all. I have a huge window screen Joe bent into a cylindar for me and I used an large eyed needle to weave in some string so I can leave big things in it and then just shake over a tub..this year , tho, I have been scattering the dried dead heads around to where I want them to go to and digging up things I want thinned up and few here and there.. wanted to show you how I am getting the brazilian morning glory to root out for me.. it is in a pot behind a pot on the patio and going everywhere, and since it is so special, I am trying to make plants for my morning glory friends.. it is this flower, and I have taken one of the long leaders and dropped it down and have it stuck to the moist soil in this rooting tub held with and old digging fork...you can see in pic 2 the big leader turning up.. now it is down and held down.. Ju, can you name number 4 and then number 5 for me? Joe thinks they are the same and I say no not the same..leaves are different, one is out front and one is out back..help?
