Back in November when visiting a friend’s smallholding, I helped myself to some hard wood cuttings from their as yet unpruned redcurrant bushes. When I got home I planted the bundle of fifteen sticks in a corner of a vegetable bed and put a label round them. They were left to their own devices until today when I dug them up. All fifteen had rooted. They were then potted up for growing on. Something for nothing but a little goodwill.

That's brilliant! Hope you get lots of redcurrants in due course.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I look forward to the future with great optimism as far as redcurrants are concerned!
DeleteThey look good healthy plants. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. I know you are keen on propagating too.
