July 2015

As I keep losing, misplacing my work book I thought I had better start putting online so I always know where it is. This probably won’t be exactly fascinating reading for anyone else

23rd July

Thym Serpolet- tried tip cuttings, clipping off long stems with roots, and separating plants- will see which is the best.

Carnations- Little Pinks, up potted the 12cm pots to medium sized black pots, hope they will be ready and in flower for Autumn.

Clipped back the Rau-Ram, Persicaria oderata,  mother plant and popped all the cuttings into Orgasyl usually close to 100% success rate if kept moist

Stock pulled out the dead plants and saved the seeds
