Propagation

Starting a plant from seed is one of the most rewarding experiences in the garden. I am starting some basil seeds in these old egg cartons, they are destined for some guerrilla gardening in some unsuspecting school gardens and maybe the bus stop at the shopping centre. (shhhh don't tell anyone)
This is my cat's garden, this cat mint was planted from a cutting taken from a customer. The cat loves nothing more than to be rubbed over with a few leaves.

I have a spot near the neighbours fence that is bear and I had the idea of planting out some Rosemary as the area doesn't get a lot of water and would need to fend for itself without too much input from me. I was short a few dollars so couldn't buy any to satisfy my immediate needs. Being spring, there was a lot of new growth on my existing Rosemary that is growing under the front stairs (also grown from a piece pinched from a customer). I took a few pieces and planted them in some good compost. That was four weeks ago and they are growing strong, I should be able to plant them out soon.
The most supprising plant I have ever grown from a cutting is a hibiscus, I was driving down a long driveway from a customer and noticed a beautiful hibiscus flower, so as I drove by I stuck out my hand and grabbed a small branch, I stuck this in a pot when I got home some 2 hours later and a few years on it now stand over 2 metres high. When it is in flower I will post a photo.
