So far so good on the hardwood cuttings of the Red Lake currants. I only have two containers, one treated with dip and grow and the other with no treatment. Both are at the same point as far as top growth is concerned and I’ve not looked for roots yet.
Both are getting bottom heat at about 70F and the lights are on 16 hrs a day.
The Internet is a very dangerous place. It is just wayyyy to easy to browse the catalogs, click a couple of times and spend more than I probably should on plants.
I was baaaaad again today. I ordered 2 White Imperial currants, 3 Northblue blueberries and a book on Plant Propagation. I decided against the Elderberries and other than the black bamboo I hope to get I am finished ordering plants…I mean it… I really am.
My logic behind all of this ordering went like this. I have the two (possibly more if the cuttings take) Red Lake currants and I thought the whites would be a nice contrast. The blueberries I picked up because with all the existing plants I have I am clueless as to what is what except for one that still has a tag. I do know that they are all from two different varities and I need at least two varieties for pollination. So…. by throwing the Northblue into the mix I am assured that as long as I keep the others close to a NB I should be good to go. The book I had checked out of the library last year and have wanted it ever since. It is packed full of tables and specific info on many different kinds of plants. Lots for me to learn there and that is always good.
