I jabbed a few other whips in the soil. They have buds swelling, now. I am leery of just putting them in cups, outside. Out nights stay cool even in the summertime, and the soil temperature seem to be really critical for root development in other species o have propagated. Perhaps I will try just in...

First is Sverkhranniy, a pom that many folks suggest might be the earliest ripening pom around. The second is Medovyi Vasha (<<Your Honey...

Any updates?
