This is an almost-all homework weekend. However, I did a small amount of garden inspection.
Also applied rooting hormone to some hardwood cuttings. I didn't expect them to root yet, at all. And they have not. I carefully removed the cuttings from the ground, and applied rooting hormone, then carefully placed them back into the ground.
Illustration is Laburnum, from commons.wikimedia.org.
The cuttings I'm experimenting with: Linden "greenspire", Mulberry "Illinois Everbearing". I also took 3 small hardwood cuttings from unnamed Laburnum, scratched the bark, and applied rooting hormone before placing them in the same raised bed. Plus one cutting from Brunswick fig. Because I can. The fig cutting did not get rooting hormone.None of these is "needed". Just seeing what might happen. I also collected some laburnum seeds. Might plant those if I don't forget them.
