bursting with vigour and sending up new shoots, so its an ideal time to take softwood cuttings of all your favourites. The best cuttings come from shoots without flowers so look
for non flowering side shoots and cut them cleanly from the main stem. If you are taking a lot of cuttings, put a slip of paper with each variety, noting type and colour to avoid confusion later. Should you wish to try new varieties – buy a ‘stock plant’. Garden centres are full of healthy plants: buy one large fuchsia or pelargonium and the chances are it will have lots of stems from which you can propagate more plants. Use the same method as for any softwood cuttings.
Quote from
‘Summer in a Garden’ by Charles Warner 1871
ʻI am told that abundant and rank weeds are signs of a rich soil, but I have noticed that a thin poor soil grows little but weedsʼ
