started Hippeastrums, Habranthus, Zephyranthes, Crinums - geophytes of various kinds... Say that 3 times fast!
Anna, you can surely have cuttings, but they might not like to root in the heat of summer. Might be easier in fall.
Linda, we have the automatic timers and they work really well. We bought them when we all had to go to IL at the same time, so I had no one to come over and water for me while we were all gone. (Now I have a neighbor teen that can do it if she chooses).
We hooked up the one out front to come on at 4:30 AM and run for 30 minutes. It covers most of the front yard. I have one spot out front and the Hell strip that have to be hand watered. In back, we haven't set anything up yet, but we can "group" the pots in various spots and then run zones off one timer...it worked great when we were gone and nothing died for a week in the heat of summer last year. We used sprinklers and sprinkler hoses. Wasn't purty...but it did the job!
