Gardening with Joey

[Joey66]

What is the best time of year to take cuttings of climbing roses @Joey66? Any advice on stem selection snd propagation medium?

Hardwood cuttings from new wood pencil thickness a pair of secuteures dig a small trench or a large pot using a gritty sand 50-50 with multipurpose compost in a deep plant pot - cut 9 inches long with a sloping cut just above the node on the top leaf joint - a striaght cut just below a nodal joint on the cutting inSeptember \October outside
By may you will have rooted cuttings the following year if using a pot slide the cuttings in on the rim side of the pot firm in well to avoid air pockets the top up the pot with the gritty sand .....
Separate when rooted and pot separate in a deep pot plant out the following autumn....

Digging six inches for a patio I completely underestimated the labour and skip size. My skip is full and I’m bolloxed.

@Frang has been furloughed from his daytime job as an HGV driver and prozzie killer, he’s a dab hand at digging patios out.

He’s also got some stuff he’d like to bury, which can be used as a base course.

Using your member isn’t an accurate measurement as the scale is different in image form.

@Joey66 In the next couple of days, I will be planting rugosa rose plants (early Mother’s Day gift for my wife). I have peat moss,
bone meal, and fish fertilizer.
Would you recommend using a b1 fertilizer as well? Seems opinion can be divided on that one

Looking at that have you removed the good top soil?
Lay your flags on ground cover top grade material with a dry 5-1 mix of sand and cement for your flags to sit on

Bone meal will do the job a good hand full in the hole you dig mixed in - prune to an out facing bud 1/8 of an inch above the bud wit a sloping cut with sharp secateurs - put training wire up if up against a fence or wall plant in open ground do not put it in a pot...... as it will become rootbound far to quickly hungery plant

Nice one...

One last question if you don't mind, do I sprinkle it on the top of the soil, or mix it in?

mix it in the compost or soil preparation before planting or potting up is always key
