I have a friend who has planted a little garden in astonishingly rich soil. Many of her plants came from me, and she grew some
annuals. I go there and see what plants should really look like.

I still cannot tell for sure if the foxglove proliferations are taking off. This afternoon I took some pink from Foxy. I will plant them tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed that this works. I just love
propagation now. With the foxglove it will mean never having to start them again. This was my third summer so I may get some self sown ones too. I took the branches and laid them on the ground where I would like them to come up. I did the same thing with the tall verbascum, but I used scissors to cut off about 2" for each seeding area and placed them on roughed up ground.

Geum is something I haven't tried, but alas at this point I have no room. I need to get my neighbor to plow up another spot.
After I winter sow, I will be crazy about where to put the new plants.
