JB---

Why do CC's need to be bathed???? Do you do that because you will be taking cuttings?
What do you bathe them in?

Do you think I could take some cuttings from the longer stems of the 6 CC's you sent me?
Still wondering if they may bloom in March--or so.

The little shelves on my DR windows are so vintage. I think I got them ages ago
from one of those, now extinct, catalogs--like Lillian Vernon.
They are white wire--and fold up flat when not hung on the window sash.

1--Here is a close look. See the screw they are hanging from on the middle sash?
They are very handy--just that they are so close to the glass which is very cold in the winter.
I try to keep my CC's on it--but there are a few AV's also.
You are the second person who has asked where i got them. Speedie wanted to know too.

Trying to sow some seeds today. Not getting too much done. Did laundry---called my Insurance--
sitting on hold for 20 minutes! Had something to eat...etc....

2--The shelf I have all along the LR window I put up myself. It goes the full length of all 3 windows.
It is a board I painted white and put it on some pretty supports. Also very cold there for plants.
Oh well--they all seem to be OK--just nothing much is blooming. No Streps--and no AV's!
