🌱 today was a gardening day as well 🌱
Propagating Lavender from cuttings 🌞
I finally got to pruning my Olde Lavender Bush, and instead of chucking all the cuttings in the compost bin, I chose (or she did? the Lavender) to pick out the most promising twigs, trimmed a stalk to them (getting rid of any branching twigs & needles), dipped them in ground cinnamon (because I believe it's a natural rooting hormone) and stuck them into a pot, quite deeeep in order to have a lot of moisture. 💚
We are experiencing mild (cool...🙄), moist weather at the moment so my hopes are high for success. Envisioning many, many lavenderbushes in the future!
🌞The new flyers just arrived!🙌
Double sided; English/Dutch - I'm guessing it'll be a good thing in Amsterdam to reach the multicultural community. What do you think?!
🌱 seed saving 🌱
Favourite plant friends saved for the next season 💚
Gather seeds with sunny weather, let them dry very well before packaging in small paper (or plastic) bags.
Mark clearly with name of plant (& cultivar if you know it), and the year of harvesting.
I like to note the specific garden where the seeds came from as well.
Store in a dark, dry, cool place.
💚 An open invitation: I like to swap seeds with other gardening enthusiasts in January - February 🌱 one of the best reasons to get together in the heart of winter, with a pot of herbal tea... I'm geeky like that 😉💚🌱
