Hi Robb,
I don't know. I'm just learning all this stuff from what I read or what people that have gardened for a long time tell me.
A friend of mine told me you can just sever the little shoots that grow around the bottom of common lilacs and plant those and they should root and grow. I was asking the question to try to get a little backing and hopefully find out what she said is true. I will try it this weekend and let you know of any progress.

Yesterday I started a propagation box. Well two of them actually. They are 4X8.
I bought the 100 ft heat cables & thermostats. This is where I got tonight. I still need to finish insulating the cold frame and lay the gravel,mat,wire,sand & soil.
I will sink them in the ground as you can see the shallow grave in the background.
It is getting dark and the skeeters are starting to penetrate the 100% Deet I swam in before I went outside so I'm wrapping it up for the night.

I started a blog a couple of weeks ago if you want to see what I'm doing with the knowledge I gain from Daves, Friends & ideas that I want to have materialize.
