My grandmother could make a cutting of anything she touched grow like crazy. I don’t think she ever BOUGHT a plant — she just gave homes to snippings from her neighbors’ yards.

I don't suppose she left some nice, simple notes around about how to do this, did she?

My grandmother could make a cutting of anything she touched grow like crazy. I don’t think she ever BOUGHT a plant — she just gave homes to snippings from her neighbors’ yards.

There are a few plants around work that I'd love to be able to do that with. My office has juneberry bushes with the biggest juneberries on it that I've ever seen, but because they're right in the open I don't want to just go up and clip a sprig. Last summer I snitched a berry that the birds had missed and saved the seeds from it. But I forgot to label them, and now they're mixed up with the rest of my "mystery seeds".

(I really need to get better about labelling things.)

And then around the corner from the office is a stand of wild plums that are just sugar-sweet! I saved the pits, but I'm wondering if I should take a cutting or two. They're growing around a drainage culvert, so I don't think anyone would mind.
