Thats good Zaf, if only some of them take, you have done well and hardly cost you anything.

I think I did 4 each of 3 varieties, one variety looks a bit sick but at least a couple each of the others look reasonably OK :)

Just tried another load of cuttings, I've tried the same method but put a plastic bag over the pots like little mini greenhouses - fingers crossed!

Did you get rain all day today? Noticed you posted that it was raining this morning.  It has been lovely all day here.  Even had to water tonight, from water butt and not with the hose  ;).

No, it stopped around 10ish and I managed to put a couple of rows of seeds in to replace the ones the slugs ate :(

I think the forecast is pretty wet for the weekend so we shouldnt have to be doing much watering for a few days

I know Craig has been moaning, he plays cricket on Saturdays (and Wednesday eve, cricket widow during the summer  ;)).  They talk of high wind as well, which I don't like as it does so much damage.

I dont like the wind either, all the lovage is on the floor already and more gales will blow the flowering plants to bits :(

Takes so many branches from the trees as well, they get heavy with rain then the wind comes and its dangerous.  Have to keep tying up Clematis's and honeysuckle as it kepps getting blown about  :(.
