While many growers resign themselves to the inevitable loss of the annuals which they had attended to all season, some may opt to start and overwinter new plants from their prized ornamentals. By following these tips, a grower can potentially start numerous plants by taking cuttings from a single donor plant.

English is a flexible language. We are always inventing new words and finding new uses for old ones. I can remember when there were no plastic cups of yogurt in the dairy case. My Mom used to make yogurt at home by boiling milk, adding a teaspoon of old yogurt (“back-slopping”, in the cheese-making parlance), and incubating in a Styrofoam container. Today, the grocery store is packed with many textures, flavors and nationalities of yogurt.
