Propagating

J and I decided to try our hand at propagating.

We decided to try both Lavender and Rosemary which we plan on using as hedges in our garden design.

          

We dipped all the ends of the cuttings in organic honey and put them in egg cartons and small pots that we had saved from the free council plants that we religiously get each quarter.



 
This was another type of Lavender we tried as well - not sure how well this will go as it is quite 'woody'.

 We brought some 'seed raising mix' and we put all our new little plants in a homemade greenhouse (a clear plastic box upside down).  Now we just have to wait and see if any they take root!

And of course our lovely girls were very helpful and loved that we were in their garden with them!
