Sweets and Irish are not related, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work. I use this method to propagate tomato plants, and it works as long as the plant isn't too old, too mature.

Why? Because I had extra that I couldn't find a good spot for. So they will act as a ground cover out there. I find that close to 100% of the cuttings root. I just give them a nice watering every few days the first two weeks, then they are on their own.Su Bahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125127467859054156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351299832598163605.post-32635415255261831082014-04-30T13:09:31.707-07:002014-04-30T13:09:31.707-07:00Thanks for the step-by-step!
