Yeh, Bobert, that's called pegging. I find it pretty simple, and don't have a pot to tend to all summer as the "mother" plant sustains the branch and the new roots. Then, in the fall, there is usually a nice root mass and I can cut the branch loose from the original plant and directly transplant the new bush into the ground. I didn't know if azaleas could be propogated like that or not. It is easy as pie to do hydrangeas and roses that way.

Which reminds me, I stuck a brick on a branch of an unusual, deep purple hydrangea over at Dani's 6 or 8 weeks ago. I better e-mail her and make sure the girls haven't knocked the brick loose when mowing.

Bought a couple of Mexican Mint Marigolds this evening at Home Depot. Was surprised to see them carry it. Tarragon is hard to get to thrive here, so that is what I had at the old house. I was kicking myself for not digging some of it up when I moved, because it used to be hard to find.
