Save Money and Have Fun!
Learning to propagate your own plants is incredibly satisfying. Once you have learned these simple techniques you will be able to choose from a dizzying array of stock plants from your home garden, those of friends, neighbours - and you can share those cherished family varieties and build up your own collection of tasty heritage fruits and herbs. Propagating your own plants saves you MONEY and its heaps of FUN!
You will also learn the skills needed to ‘grow on’ your successfully propagated plants until they are ready for planting out in the garden. Aftercare includes potting-on, watering, fertilising and ensuring pest and disease-free conditions for strong healthy plants. At this time of year we will be potting up baby heirloom tomato plants - you will care for them at home ready for transplanting. These seedlings will grow into robust plants, stronger than those you can buy in a shop, and already adapted to your particular growing environment.
