Now I put a song in my head: "Mr Rockefeller" by Bette Midler.

My husband wanted "Steeler petunias", i.e. Phantom.

Someone gave him a Steeler gnome for Christmas, like this.

They'd be cute together.
So far I've been too cheap to order those petunias. You know, I don't mind spending a few bucks on good perennials, but annuals are another story.

Stop twisting my arm, Allison.I've heard nothing but good reviews on them, and good watchdog ratings. I've been thinking of ordering those petunias from them, as well as bonfire begonia, which is also your fault!

I'm all ears!

Most of the coleus cuttings I did are looking good, I just took the dome off to give them a try without it. A few look iffy but it's a very few. It has probably been a little over a week, maybe 2 weeks, since I did them.

No, I never use heat for the cuttings, just a dome. They rarely fail to root, my success rate is probably around 98%. This tray is 36 extra deep cells, and only 2 tiny ones look iffy. I think they were just too small.

Did I already miss the NC Farms cuttings coop, or did you guys not do that this year?
I was amazed at how those tiny cuttings grew.
Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
