Re: Re: Pineapple sage blackberry brandy

[Guest guest]

I just cut mine down last week and hung it to dry, but I also took 3 sprigs

and put them in water. I hope that they take root as they are still looking

good. Then once they do that I can put them and put them in the ground next

year too. At least thats my plan. They really made a nice looking plant in

the garden. I did not dig up the other plant.. so the stalks are stil

there. If it comes back in the spring all the better but if not I hope to

have my three young plants.

My ginger is starting to die back.. it has been inside in a pot. Is this

what its suppose to do?

mmmm i LOVE pineapple sage. it smells just like a fresh pineapple.

YUMMMMM yummy. and the flowers this time of year are soo beautiful

and vibrant red. NICE. One lady at the plant store said that I could

try bringing the plant in for the winter and cut it back some. I

might try that as I have 2 back there and leave the 1. this spring it

DID grow back on me so I was surprised to see that.

That's great, Koala. I might take a cutting or two and see how that works out.

I haven't had much success w/ outdoor cuttings yet, but I am determined. :-)

Shaye, get yourself a small bag of vermiculite to start your cuttings in. The

roots they develop in water are different than the roots they develop in a soil

type medium, so they don't always take hold in dirt if they have water roots.

If you have Rootone, that should help, too.

If only I could remember where I put mine!
