thanks from me too Sacha - useful information. Today I will be taking
cuttings to root from my soft fruit bushes. Hope I'm not too late that
that?

I'll ask himself when I go out there, Val but we don't propagate fruit here.
We buy them in, so I can't help you myself - never grown the stuff! ;-)

Sacha I couldn't wait, so taken the plunge and propagated gooseberry and
blackcurrant cuttings this afternoon, plus planted garlic bulbs.

Sorry, Val, it's been quite a busy couple of days. Ray says take the
cuttings but put them straight into the ground, not the greenhouse. Does
that make sense to you?

Tomorrow afternoon I'm going to take down the runner bean plants and make an
Autumn sowing of broad beans into pots.

I've also pruned apple trees, and taken cuttings of our Mallow shrub - not
sure if they will take or not but worth a try I reckon.

Phew, feet up time now me thinks - glass of chilled white wine anyone ?

On my way..... ;-))
