Lots of propogation happening in the polytunnel yesterday. I love taking cuttings and still find it magical that a new plant grows from a snippet of stalk and a few leaves. You'll be pleased to know that no chemical rooting hormones are ever used on my herb cuttings but I have just read an interesting article about making your own homemade rooting compound from a kind of willow tea. This is something I'll have to experiment with and I'll keep you posted...
