hey everyone and welcome back to
0:02
gardening with Ben in today's video
0:04
we're going to be potting up our Salvia
0:07
cuttings what we started earlier on in
0:10
the year so sit back relax and enjoy
0:33
you may have remembered a bit back when
0:36
we took some salvi cuttings I've never
0:38
taken Salvia cuttings before it was the
0:40
first time that I'd ever done it because
0:42
first year that I'd had Salvia on my
0:44
allotment which I purchased from BBC
0:47
gardeners world live I thought they
0:50
smell absolutely beautiful they looked
0:53
gorgeous and I thought I'm going to grow
0:54
some of them so I bought three varieties
0:57
of them and one of them smells like
0:59
black current it's absolutely gorgeous
1:02
and it were expensive to buy but I
1:05
thought let's try and make some cuting
1:07
and let's see if we can get some more
1:09
plants it looks pretty easy to do so I
1:11
thought I'll give it a go and that's the
1:13
thing about gardening it's experimenting
1:15
and trying new things and if you can get
1:17
free plants from it why not hey I'm a
1:20
Yorkshire man that is for
1:22
sure but yeah if let's have a look at
1:25
what so this is one of the cuttings that
1:27
I took as you can see it's absolutely
1:30
doing brilliant the leaves are dying off
1:32
now but it's in good shape and it's got
1:35
a flower on it so we're going to put
1:37
these up into bigger pots so that they
1:39
can Bush out we're going to cut the
1:40
heads off so that they can focus on
1:42
growing the roots and building a better
1:44
system so we' got about 12 of these to
1:47
do and if you were to buy these in shop
1:51
like8 that's how much I think paid for
1:54
each salv plant 8 pound so yeah
1:56
hopefully we can keep them going
1:58
throughout the winter period and get
2:00
them growing and then we're going to
2:01
plant them out in the springtime when
2:04
it's warmer possibly after the frosts
2:06
being so that they can take root better
2:09
so yeah these are going to look
2:11
absolutely gorgeous next year on The
2:12
alotment and it will encourage the Beast
2:14
to come and smell absolutely gorgeous so
2:18
let's get these potted up and let's get
2:20
them sorted so let's have a look at what
2:23
it looks like inside the plant pot so as
2:26
you can see the roots have taken really
2:28
well it's a bit dry not watered
2:31
it but yeah once we take off the old
2:35
compost and we break it up and then
2:38
we're going to put them into some larger
2:40
plant pots which are nice and big so
2:43
hopefully they'll build a nice big root
2:44
system in the plant pot and it'll
2:47
encourage them to grow bigger and
2:48
hopefully get better plants for next
2:50
year so let's get these sorted let's get
2:53
them pot it up and let's show you the
2:55
outcome so I've potted them all up and
2:57
I've realized I've got a lot more than I
3:01
had so I've got 20 plants all together
3:06
L of them so hopefully these are going
3:10
to look absolutely gorgeous in my
3:12
allotment next year because they Bush
3:13
out really well they grow really bushy
3:16
and really nice so they're going to look
3:18
absolutely amazing so we just need to
3:20
prune all the flowers off now and get
3:23
them to grow out and get
3:27
bigger so let's give them a trim back
3:31
so that is all them potted up nicely and
3:35
trimmed back so hopefully keep them
3:38
watered and keep them alive through the
3:40
winter period fingers crossed it stays
3:42
warm enough in here for them to stay
3:44
alive but we'll see like I said nothing
3:47
lost if if they do die because they're
3:50
all free Plants but yeah that would save
3:52
me a fortune in buying all them if they
3:55
do take so let's give them a good water
3:57
and get them settled in
4:00
I hope You' enjoyed today's video I hope

4:05

4:06
taking some cuttings yourself as like I
4:09

4:10
and they've done really well really
4:12

4:15
