Cow Pots

The cuttings were fine overnight and look bright and happy this morning.

Some of them are planted in “cow pots”. (See February 1, 2007 post). They are the square pots pictured in the last post.

I purchased them from Gardener’s Supply because I couldn’t find a local seller. The set of 15 three-and-one-half-inch pots was quite pricey. The results will have to be spectacular for me to buy them again – and only if I can find them locally. The shipping is a killer. I’ll try to post observations from time to time.

Coleus Cuttings

Out for good! After carrying cuttings in and out for several days to harden off – out in the morning, in at night - I’ve decided to put them out for good. There are 50 plants pictured above that will stay out. I’ll put them under a table in a sheltered place on the deck. Evening temperatures are supposed to stay in the 50’s so I think I’m safe.

I completely forgot the other 11 on the windowsill. They will go out today and into the garage overnight (maybe).

I also have 18 fuchsia and wax begonia cuttings that may have to go in and out for a few days. Enough of walking plants around! But it was a good crop this winter. I can’t wait to see the vibrant colors in the garden and in pots.
