The Earth is definitely flat...

There is zero doubt about that
for I read it on the internet...

Sure I was skeptical at first...

This blatant contradiction
of established scientific facts
but then I saw all the posts
algorithm spoon fed boosts
BLASTING IN ALL CAPS
that the globe is a pancake...

Now I am empowered...

A disciple of the new truth...

#Propagating the gospel
of creative ideology
to smother any inconvenient realities
that run counter to our freshly contrived version
of free speech liberty

I bought some Thomcord grape cuttings that I found online in a location that can ship to here. Filled another tray up the other day and got them on the heat this morning.

Put the bags on different, also changed up some on the other cuttings. In the past I didn't have them on heat so just bagged them and put them somewhere it wasn't cold or sunny.

The idea is to keep the top cool, the soil warm to promote a callus and roots to grow from that.

Started 24 grape cuttings. 8 each of Thompson seedless, the century old pink grape, and some Moore's Early.

Plan is to start some vines somewhere that's easier to harvest and able to be protected from 🐓 birds 🐦‍⬛ of all sizes. Not currently possible because they're mostly in landscaping areas out of the way, aka on and around rocks.

On Tuesday, I lose my beloved #plum tree. 💔 I’m going to take some #cuttings even though it’s not ideal as it’s not winter yet. I still have to try for my very very sore heart.

I have sand, potting mix, perlite, rooting hormone… sharp shears. I’d like to try 4-6 cuttings since there’s no second chance. Does anyone have any suggestions? Cuts to make? Stripping bark off bottom?
@tinahardman16 ? ❤️ (PS I don’t have the #propagation book yet! 😫)

Do things come in threes?
Here’s the last of my “broken” trilogy today:

While planting the hyssop in my flowerbed, I found a broken stem. Probably by a cottontail.

I revived the broken plant in water, and put it in a small pot. Hopefully it’ll take root!

In the 18 months since we moved in, the #garden has been a project. Sachi does veg, I do #landscaping and ornamental.
This will be my second spring of #propagating, which I love because free plants. It usually means cutting off a branch of something I like, sticking it in soil with a rooting hormone, and hoping it takes root.
Some plants are easy, like this ‘Angelina’ ground cover. You can often just grab a branch and stick it in the ground. Roots are a bonus. #gardening
