OK Melody, I won't wait for the popular crowd to jump out on the dance floor....I will be brave and get things started myself.

I love my hardy fuchsias and would love to hear peoples suggestions on the best ways to propigate them. I find that in our area, now is the perfect time to try cuttings, but I am definitely a novice as far as fuchsias go. When do you propigate? How do you do it? I am sure that lots of us would love to know.
