Chrysanthemums potted up abaout a week ago

Last week I potted up the chrysanthemum cuttings I took on 9 May. They look a bit worse for wear, but hopefully they'll survive.


Euphorbias pruned and cuttings taken








I cut all the flowering stems from the euphorbia, then selected a few of the remaining non-flowering stems to take as cuttings.

Seed potatoes sourced

I'm not confident that the latest batch of supermarket spuds will chit (they're probably this season's crop - also I don't know whether they're early spuds), so I've ordered some proper seed potatoes for planting at this time of year - apparently they don't need chitting.

Back garden update


Chitting failed - started again

The spuds I began chitting on 30 May haven't sprouted and are going green.






Not sure if it's because they didn't originate in the UK.

Bought a different variety, from the UK.
