RE: Do you grow? Seedling in All Stages
I love looking at all your little baby plants! Love the rooting idea for the rosemary. I start rosemary every year, but it takes forever to come up and do anything.
Same...I have 2 small plants that may or may not have overwintered ok from 3 years and probably 50 seedling attempts haha!! I stripped a bit of the bark from the bottoms, dipped in rooting hormone and fingers crossed they will take off! The lady who I buy seeds from told me how to do it:)
I made willow water when I needed a rooting medium for starting bay laurels. It worked really well. Just the tips (smaller than pencil size) of GREEN stems from a willow tree (2 cups cut in 1" pieces), steeped overnight in enough water to fill a quart jar with the stems in it, and diluted 1:1 with water at time of use.
I have heard of willow water! I will look into it...there is a willow tree near the road at the next farm hehe.
