I have not updated this blog for a very long time. I apologize for the delay. Work has been very hectic, and the fall transition of the plants was quite the chore. The light gardens had 2 cuttings of each variety started 2 months ago, and I have since moved the duplicates of most varieties into the greenhouse and still need to space out the remainders so they have adequate air space to circulate. I am foolish for keeping certain more vigorous varieties under lights, but as a paranoid gardener, I expect the worst when it comes to the greenhouse.
My crosses from last year are blooming and doing very well. Many will be available next spring if I can multiply them quick enough. There are a few new miniatures and fancy leaved varieties fortunately, and once they are listed and named I will get pictures up for you all to see. I have one microminiature that is perhaps 2 inches tall...after a year!!! It has yet to flower, but its so tiny that I am afraid to clone it in the near future. I have not crossed as many this fall, but a cross of note that has set seed is 'Little John' x 'Mr Henry Cox'. My fingers are crossed with this one.
The Ontario Club met last weekend and it was nice to talk with new members and old members whom I have not had the chance to get to know yet. The next meeting is in February at the TBG, so I will post more information closer to the years end.
