TCM3 - nice progress! Bullfrog - rosemary propagates really easily from cuttings - wife has it all over our flower beds & landscaping - just from trimmings off the first plant.

TCM3 - nice progress! Bullfrog - rosemary propagates really easily from cuttings - wife has it all over our flower beds & landscaping - just from trimmings off the first plant. I don’t need anything but a cutting? Just stab it in the ground? Yeah, that's what she does. She first realized it when she shoveled some compost over clippings laying on the ground from our first plant she trimmed, and they continued growing up thru the compost. She transplanted those, and 2 years later we got 24" plants. Started dozen others by just pushing cutting into ground where she wanted them. A few inches of young woody stem with soft new growth on top - pushed into fertile soil and keep moist a few weeks. You can drop the same into a water-bottle with just water in it, and watch the roots sprout from the woody stem, then transplant. She also does the same with Red Texas Sage (Furman's Red Texas Salvia ) - not an herb, but drought & cold proof & hummingbirds love it.

Just a few inches you say?
Jk, I will try this with my peppers this year. They sell root stimulant. I wonder how much faster that would make it

Over winter I messed around Cloning Tomatoes in a water bottle, but added root promoting peptides. Results were incredible vs just straight water.

Yeah, that will help, so will putting just a speck of miracle-grow in the water too, and if using tap water- let it set for few days to let chlorine out. I have a ton of wild mustang grape vines growing on this property - gonna try starting some cuttings from it, for rootstock, and then next year graft some fine wine-grape stems onto the rootstock.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. These are old pumpkin seeds taken out of a pool pump skimmer basket and they sprouted in these clippings These clippings are what the pumpkin seeds are growing out of.

Ping pong ball sized hail did a number on my container garden. Pics in the morning. There may be more in a little while.

But i could try I hear melons do really well in sandy loam. If your watermelons do well, cantaloupe will too. I’d bury bodies for a top notch cantaloupe. Just sayin.

Soooooo who’s the cantaloupe master here? That’s REALLY what I’d give body parts for. We had real good luck last year with Hales Best Jumbo - put in straight from seeds. Kept producing till fall - they were amazing. Heirloom too, so never have to buy seeds again. I think I have a half pound of seeds somewhere, if I can find them.

Good GAWD man! A 5 pounder! Very nice. Just so we’re clear, I’m not even gonna attempt to grow any. I grew up with my Mom getting some of the best ones from a produce stand in Aurora, between Rhome and Boyd. They came from somewhere that was in the river bottoms of the Trinity and dadgum they were amazing. She knew how to pick good ones by smell, regardless of ripeness. If it was early, she’d just wait to get into it. They gotta smell sweet. If not, pass on it. Like most men, I’ll drive a ways for some dern good melons.

These Tangerine Dream peppers I started are about ready to go out into the garden.
One shot is all it should take.
