Pussywillow. Six days.
My sister called yesterday to ask about that yellow blooming shrub that she's seeing everywhere these days. I told her, "Forsythia. How many do you want?" So I'll stick more cuttings today that will eventually be used to make her six shrubs. Patience, Sister.
It's 48 degrees and cloudy. Rain this evening and tomorrow. I'm going grocery shopping before I play in the yard. Dinner this evening with friends in Charlotte. Two days off starts now. Woot!

I guess I need to soak some canna seeds I have too, as they don't seem to sprout in seed mix. How neat that you can get pussy willows going from cuttings by putting them in water.
Enjoy your two days off, and your dinner tonight with friends.

Tom, you definitely have the touch when it comes to rooting things and growing from seed.
Wonder if my Kerria would root in water. I will soon find out.
Have a great two days off.
I've always wanted pussywillow. We had one when I was younger and I loved it! I didn't know you could stick the branches in water to root them! Now I have to find someone that has one!
Doesn't take too much patience with forsythia. It would root in your mouth or placed under your armpit in no time!
Tom,
I did not know you could grow cannas from seed. I'm growing camellias from seed, took 6 weeks to sprout. My best plants have 4 leaves already.
