Take all the time you like - at our ages it is right that we take life on whatever schedule best suits us (and so many of us here at ATP are just Dirt Old so we empathize!). I know we'd love to see you share an article about your high rate of success with cuttings. To illustrates my anxiety ... for two years I tried cuttings, even with growth hormone, later in the summer and they never took. That's why I gave up. Fortunately, one spring I cut those most tender new growths back and tossed the bits and pieces in a pot that was holding soil for another planting. Before I tossed out those cuttings I got pulled away from the garden for a week, and when I came back the new shoot tips were thriving. But, if there is a sure way to get more mature cuttings to root throughout the growth cycle (I have heard others say they get cuttings to start in the late summer) I'd love to learn it!
