CUTTINGS FOR SWEET POTATOE VINES




I READ SOMEWHERE THAT YOU CAN BRING YOUR SWEET POTATOE VINE PLANTS IN FOR THE WINTER IN WATER OR DIRT. I AM PRETTY SURE THEY ARE ANNUAL. RIGHT NOW I HAVE CUTTINGS OF STEMS WITH SOME LEAVES AND STUCK IN WATER, OVER TWO TO THREE DAYS THE PLANTS START ROOTING. HOPEFULLY, THEY WILL SURVIVE FOR NEXT SEASON. I ALSO HEARD THAT GERANIUM PLANTS CAN BE BROUGHT INSIDE IN WATER OR IN DIRT.

I KNOW THESE PLANTS AREN'T TOO TREMENDOUSLY EXPENSIVE BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GET A FAST START FOR NEXT GROWING SEASON. IF THEY ALL SURVIVE I WILL HAVE BIGGER PLANTS THAN MY NEIGHBORS. YOU KNOW NEIGHBORS COULD BE SO ANNOYING. THEY ALWAYS WANT TO ONE UP ON YOU.

FALL IS BEST TIME GARDENING DEALS
















I was just at the store and what caught my eyes were those sale stickers. Stores are cleaning out their inventory to make room for new products therefore it is time for you to get out of the house and start shopping for great deals. Never pay for price if you don't have too. Let those snobby people be stupid and spend all their money. You look a lot smarter when you paid 1/2 price for something that your annoying neighbor paid full price.

Make sure you check the product thoroughly, just because it is on sale doesn't mean it is worth the value. You don't want to buy something at cheap price and it ends up falling apart within a month or so.

Smart shopper knows when to shop and you can be that shopper unless you have endless bank accounts. Also compare shop because I found great deals in lumber yard stores that sell gardening products that you don't find a lot women (which usually the gardener of the family) go to therefore things get marked down because they have surplus.
Yes I bought those clay pots on sale $5.00, original prices were $10 to $20 each. A deal is deal no matter what. Everyone enjoys a deal..well I do anyway.

Happy Smart Shopping and save your money do it.
