Spring is Here, Spring is Here

starting out....

I had another blog for a couple of years now....I just decided I would make a new one...and Blog about my trials and successes on my garden...Have started this year in starting a plant nursery of sorts...I know I started late in the year...for this new adventure, but hey you have to start sometime...

What sparked my interest on this venture...is, I wanted a goat and funds are very limited here, I mean very limited here and the person the had the goat was willing to trade for some plants or starts of plants....We couldn't make a trade, but then I thought maybe just maybe some one might want to pay for some plants or rather starts that I have....So I posted on Facebook and asked if anyone would be interested in some Rose Of Sharon Starts
 
So I got responses....so I potted up some starts of Rose of Sharon shrubs


                                                                and sold all of them

I couldn't`t get to everyone that that wanted some....So I looked around on Youtube and google ways to start plants from cuttings.....I found a few ways to try....So I tried one way that I seen ...people were having success at rooting the cuttings....so I tried...
I have so far rooted cuttings from mums, Rose of Sharon`s, Creeping Thyme, Lavender, and a few more.....

I also dug up some daylilies, I had and sold everyone of them as well....The above picture is some of the potted plants I had up for sale this year...most are gone.....at Least all of the Rose of Sharon`s, except for one that I finally got to take root and one that I started from seed....who knew you could start them from seed.
The season is winding down...but I am learning the art of collecting seeds as well and selling them as well...Have sold some pink Hollyhock seeds


I will try and post something everyday about gardening here in the Ozarks...or rather my dapples with gardening....and exploring this new aspirations of it anyway....note: I always loved to play in the dirt....and the hands do itch to get in the dirt before spring.....Well I think that is enough for the beginning of this blog
