I would say 80% of my WS jugs are sprouting. the cucumbers are so darn cute,
so I started another jug yesterday.'

I pulled out dead leaves, weeds from another bed yesterday. planted shallots. one bunch of dianthus looks like it tripled. same for columbine.

and thank goodness for the rain this morning...my jugs needed it.

I pruned roses at my dad's earlier this week and am trying something new; I used rootone on the stems and then put them each into a 2 ltr bottle that I had punched holes and cut the top with a hinge like I do for my WS jugs...we'll see what happens.

and I did the same thing for a limb from a Japanese Maple that somehow he knocked off when he was moving.

think I'm wasting my time? i figure the bottles will protect it from the wind, cold.
My next house will have no kitchen - just vending machines and a large trash can.
