First Plant Propagation

 My first house plant propagation has been successful.  The plant has 3 roots right now, but I will let it grow a few more before I plant it.

In the meantime, I have an old plant stand we already have, that will get a fresh coat of paint (weather permitted).  I will need to buy a new plant pot for it, but I love this plant.  It's easy to care for.

One Easter, my Mom gifted each of us a plant instead of candy.  There was a very small plant store in town at the time, and she often visited it.

Good memories.  

I may start more for gifting a few friends, or maybe to even sell.  We do not have a "plant" store anymore.  The only place to buy houseplants is from our big box stores anymore.

I can check this off our "first time" list, and smile that I was finally successful.  It helps too get tips from a friend that was growing her own propagated plant cuttings.

One year I rooted 6 different houseplants, potted them in small clay pots and pout them in one of those divided utility carts. I added some fertilizer and a plant mister and gave it to a bride to be at a plant shower.

Anne in the kitchen, that is a really creative idea for a gift and for a bridal shower.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
