Kitchen Windowsill -cuttings rooting in water - potting up time

                  Twelve days later , look how those roots have grown !

 So I have potted them up in my recycled plastic pots in multi-purpose compost and given them a good  drink of water .

 I put them out in the woodshed with all my other cuttings , just till they settle in and show signs of growth . Then , when we finally get some proper rain I will plant them all out  .    ( No rain here now going into month three !! )

                                            Impatiens niamniamensis
Here's the mother plant that I took a cutting from . It roots very easily .
   I am going to take off the two tallest branches partly for cuttings , but also to encourage it to grow in a more balanced shape .

              Look at those amazing flowers !      Anyone want a cutting ?

Kitchen Windowsill - cuttings rooting in water

So I put the herb cuttings into a glass of water....in a few weeks they should grow roots and I'll pot them up in  some multi-purpose compost just to bring them on a bit before planting out in my herb garden .   The herb garden is such a mess and I am waiting for a cool day ,hopefully with some rain , to tidy it up . However untidy , the herbs are never the less very useful to me . I love them .

Moroccan mint , Lemon verbena and Impatiens niamniamensis  a very unusual  form of "Busy Lizzy "with red and yellow flowers .

 I took this little cutting from a bunch of flowers a few weeks ago .... I am so happy to see these little roots !
 Also a couple of rose cuttings .
