Gardening
a Targe deutzia last spring. I put the
cuttings in a sand, peat moss and soil
mixture and sank the pots under a
tree right off the patio . The pots
were covered with a light drycleaning
bag supported by small stakes
surrounding the three pots. The
corners were weighted with a couple
of bricks. All summer long I kept an
eye on the plastic. Even with the
light shade of the trees the little
makeshift greenhouse would steam
up and I would carefully lift one
corner to allow some much-needed
circulation. Several times during the
summer I had to lift the cover to
allow some rain in and then there
were the times I forgot and had to
water the pots. On first inspection
this spring it would appear that I have
a 60 per cent success rate. Since the
labels fell off the pots early last
summer I will have to wait for a few
leaves to appear to confirm what
shrub I have actually propagated.
The unsuccessful cuttings were the
ones that suffered from excessive
wilting the first day.
This spring, while I was clipping
off broken shrubs that were planted
the previous fall, I made some
cuttings and now have a few mini
coldframes filled and ready to
monitor this summer. The new
addition to my gardening basket is a
permanent black marker.°
Rhea Harnilton-Seeger and her
husband raise two children at their
home near Auburn. She is a skilled
cook and gardener.
LUCKY WINNER!
