Yep, that's what's on tap for me today. I figure I can get out and take the cuttings earlier, then play and pot them up while I watch football. Last year I kept 34, this year my goal is to limit it to 25. But, we'll see on that. Are you going to over winter any this year, Jo Ann?

Here's a tip for those new to cuttings, it has worked well for me. As I walk around and take cuttings, I carry a bucket of soapy water with me. As I take each cutting I toss it into the soapy water. When finished I rinse each with a fine spray from the hose before I bring them into the house. That way I avoid introducing bugs to the house in the first place. Then I pot them up, adding a little systemic pesticide to the soil. I use this one, seems to work well.
