I just read the rose info. Good stuff. It actually gave me a little inspiration to look into purchasing some of those. Right now though, we have some black raspberry bushes growing by the hundreds in the woods nearby. Anybody have any experience with taking cuttings from raspberry bushes? I hear all you need is a new shoot but they've just started producing fruit so not sure how that applies. :joint:

Here is an explaination of 'tip rooting' black raspberries. Google tip rooting there is probably a step by step tutorial.

The long canes bend over to the ground and the tips root in late summer. You can then cut these off when they have roots and plant them to make new plants. You could also cut off about 4 inches of the tip, remove some of the leaves, plant it with the growing tip down in the soil in pots or whatever, and these will root in about 2 weeks if you keep them moist. Right time to do this, IMO, towards the end of August.

This year I grew some "Zinnia Candy Cane" flowers just for the camouflage and smell of it, but they also became my "canary in a coal mine", as it was the first to show signs of powdery mildew when the humidity went high, then progressed into a major issue, thus it was banished to the balcony..... I kept a close eye on my pot plants and started ventilating more, but the blue bucket gal did develop a minor bit of PM.

BcDigger gave me a recipe to combat the PM, (baking powder, veg oil & dish soap) which has done the trick quite well, considering how bad the zinnia was (which remains in quarantine)

Anyhow...next year I want to try different flowers, which have more aroma and a bit more hardy (easy to grow)....any suggestions?

My pots plants are doing well....I'm happy with them
Pic 1 - "Early Miss" in soil...the eldest of the bunch but will be another 2 months (this was the auto that wasn't an auto...I'll be complaining to the breeder)
Pic 2 - "Revolver" (blue bucket-hempy)...I'm guessing 3 more weeks
Pic 3 - "Dwarfed Low Flyer" (2L hempy pop bottle) is the youngest but is almost ready, I'm seeing amber trichromes on most of the buds.....but yet it doesn't look 100% ready so I'll hang on
Pic 4 - then the Zinnia

I may need to hire you if interested, or get some professional consultation from you. I'm currently adding an addition to my home, and will be re-doing my side yard landscaping this winter after the addition is done. I want a garden of many fragrances, Roses, Jasmine, Honey suckle, and a few others. It would be nice to have someone to point me in the right direction on this project. I have no rose knowledge, climbers, which ones smell better than others, drought resistant, soil/area prep, so many questions.

luv the smell of Jasmine and Honey suckle. I need to get me some. Still trying to master my Gardenias. Honeysuckle and Jasmine are good to attract bees to pollinate your veggies. :)
