Plant Propagation: Vegetative #3

John, David, Nanci, Beth, Noelia came out one more time to work on vegetative propagation: buckwheat, toyon, sagebrush. The group is getting the routine down: cutting, prep and seating, which will help much as we include this technique more and more. Beth brought her flat from TPN training, which has been a big help in show-and-tell. We’re working making things go smoothly with setup: using wraps, not rubber bands and switching to spray bottle for rooting hormone (we can re-use it then).
We bumped up much of existing plants: elderberry to 5 gallon, rose, juncus, monkey flower. Also the usual mundane of a Nursery: weeding, cleaning, caring for potted plants. (Click any pic to enlarge)
