Yes, me too, Rehab.
I think I will try both ways and see which does best.

I think we all are Rehab, hasn't it been an awful spring.
I haven't dared do too much, and don't know if I will catch up or not now, there is so much to do.

Re: Rooting Hormone
Take a cutting with a sharp knife, dip the cut end into hormone rooting powder, shake off any excess then place it into a small pot, I tend to use a 50/50 mix of compost and perliteYou can buy rooting powder nearly everywhere I use Wilkos they have a great selection of gardening stuff and it’s a lot cheaper
