You will have to save up and get one candyblue.

650 cuttings taken,gonna take the last this weekend it will be about another 80.I have had to move 150 up to the lean to greenhouse in my new allotment.I have cleared away all the rubbish and taken out all the raised beds and I am now on digging up bramble bushes and then will be taking down the tin sheet fence so the 2 gardens become 1.Then it will be clean and ready to rotavate.I have also partitioned off the lean to so I am only heating half of it.

Yes, waiting for a few more from Station House, and a few more from Lochend.

What varieties have you ordered?

Cuttings have hit the 750 mark.I am definately taking the last at the weekend apart from some hillcrest candy and ruskin myra that need to be taken off some mother plants and are going to need a few more days than that. I got 10 plants of kenora valentine given 4 weeks ago took the growing tip out and last night took 30 cuttings off the mother plants.Didnt really trust this method until I tried it last year but its definately a great way to increase your stock.
