It's propagation season. The time of the year just before plants fully wake up and we can quickly divide them. We did some in the fall, but we can also do some early spring if we are quick.

Every moment in the season offers an opportunity, that if we let it pass, we don't get it again until the next year. Whether that is seed collecting in the fall, propagating in the spring, wild foraging asparagus and mushrooms, pulling fresh tomatoes in the summer, or doing infrastructure projects in the winter time... whatever moment of the season we are in there are opportunities that we should take advantage of.

This time of season it's propagating free plants. So lets go, I'll tell you how I do each type of propagation that I do here.

Timestamps:

3:17 Bulb Plants (Garlic, Daffodils, etc)

5:28 Rhizome/root runners (Raspberries, etc). Similar method for strawberries. Just sever the "umbilical cord" and re-plant the baby.

6:29 Crown/Root propagation (Rhubarb, Comfrey, Hostas, or other herbaceous layer plants)

7:50 Tip layering (Blackberry, Kiwi, tomatoes, or any climbing/falling or vine style plant)

10:21 Stool Layering (Haskaps, Gooseberries, etc. Works for most bushes)
