Yipeee.....Thanks Bayview and Armorel for the utterly useful tips, now why I never thought of that
. Aren't they mighty tender for superfast rooting? As god is my witness, I shall never grow from seeds again. Why make life harder than it ought to be
? Thanks Kethry and Kentvegplot, I shall also use the pinching techniques you've described. Every little helps.
